I had never had Chicken A La King until a lady from our church brought it to us after we had just had one of our children. I absolutely fell in LOVE with the yummy mushrooms and just the homeyness of the dish.  The recipe was kindly shared with me and I want to share it with all of you.  This freezes wonderfully!

Enjoy!
