Dairy-free Chicken a la King is rich and creamy and completely made from scratch. This easy skillet chicken dinner is a great recipe for using up leftover rotisserie chicken! Served over rice, pasta or biscuits!
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and onions and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Season with garlic powder and salt + pepper to taste.
Lower the heat to low and stir in cashew cream and chicken stock. Cook until thickened a bit, just a minute or two tops (it will continue thickening as you add the other ingredients and as it cools down). Stir in peas, pimentos and cooked chicken.
Serve immediately over rice, cauliflower rice, pasta or biscuits.
Make Ahead/Leftovers:
Cashew cream-based sauces thicken quickly so it’s best to serve them straight away. However, if you prep the chicken and cashew cream ahead, it comes together in a matter of minutes.
To reheat leftovers, add a bit of nut milk or chicken stock.
Pre-cooked chicken options:
The quickest and easiest option to make this recipe for chicken a la king is to use shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken or (Thanksgiving) turkey.
But if you don't have leftovers (booo) you can quickly prep some chicken from scratch:
