Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
• 1 cup Cooked turkey (shredded or diced)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Green bell pepper (diced)
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper (diced)
• 1 cup Button mushrooms (sliced)
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 6 pieces Bread slices
• 3 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Using a rolling pin, flatten the bread slices slightly. Brush both sides of each slice with melted butter.

Step 3

Press each bread slice into the cups of a muffin tin to form a cup-like shape. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and let cool.

Step 4

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw taste of the flour.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Add the heavy cream and whisk until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded chicken, turkey, frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

Spoon the creamy Chicken Turkey a La King mixture into the toasted bread cups.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful dish!
