Chicken a La Queen ;) image

This is a scrumptious dish I got from the Rachel Ray show. I think she made it faster, but I take a bit longer in the kitchen. ;) I also added 1 - 2 tsp poultry seasoning,sprinkle of creole seasoning,salt and pepper to taste in my attempt at this. (for ZWT3 - Southern spin on a chicken pot pie- comfort food!)

This was the worst chicken a la queen I've ever had! The sauce was bland and watery, and the chicken was dry and tough. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was just okay. The sauce was a bit too thick and the chicken was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
