Chicken a la King

Prep Time:	35 minutes
Ready in:	35 minutes
Yield:	6 servings, about 1 cup each
Ease of Prep:	Easy

Recipe Ingredients
	1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast , trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
	1/2 cup all-purpose flour
	2 tablespoons canola oil , divided
	10 ounces white mushrooms , quartered
	1 large green bell pepper , diced
	3/4 teaspoon salt
	1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
	1 cup dry sherry (see Note)
	1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
	1 cup low-fat milk
	1 4-ounce jar sliced pimientos , rinsed
	1/2 cup sliced scallions

Recipe Directions

1. Toss chicken and flour in a medium bowl until coated. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Reserving the remaining flour, add the chicken to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
2. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are softened and starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in sherry; bring to a boil and cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits, 3 minutes.
3. Whisk broth and milk into the reserved flour until smooth. Stir the mixture into the pan. Bring to a simmer, stirring often. Stir in pimientos and the chicken and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in scallions and serve immediately.

Note: Sherry is a type of fortified wine originally from southern Spain. Don't use the "cooking sherry" sold in many supermarkets-it can be surprisingly high in sodium. Instead, purchase dry sherry that's sold with other fortified wines in your wine or liquor store.
