Cheat's Chicken a La King

**Mandy**'s Note:

This is a really simple way to do Chicken A La king as it uses cream of mushroom soup as a base. The sauce can also be done on the stove and goes great served over chicken patties. I found this in an old Rosella Soup recipe book.

Wow great recipe! I made a few adjustment, I used chicken stock instead of the sherry wine and I left out the capsicum (did have any at home) but added two hand fulls of mushrooms. The aroma around the house was wonderful and the taste was great. I served it on steam rice and it soaked in the wonderful sauce. Thank you Mandy from Oz
