Cooking Instructions:
-
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniformity for even cooking.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
-
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and stir-fry them until they are no longer pink, ensuring they are cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside for later use.
-
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to heat up.
-
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and let it brown for about a minute, infusing the oil with its aromatic flavor.
-
Next, toss in the chopped onions and sautรฉ them until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, which should take around 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Now, add the diced green pepper to the skillet and continue sautรฉing for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the pepper to soften and release its flavors.
-
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, combining it with the aromatic vegetables.
-
Pour in the chicken soup and milk, stirring to incorporate all the ingredients together.
-
Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
Once the mixture begins to bubble gently, add in the mixed frozen vegetables, stirring well to distribute them evenly throughout the dish.
-
Allow the dish to simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to heat through.
-
Serve the Chicken a la King over a bed of fluffy rice, allowing each spoonful to warm both the body and the soul.
