Chicken A La King With A Kick
Why I Love This Recipe
This was actual a fluke recipe. I was going to make my Garlic Pepper Chicken recipe and found out that I had defrosted only 4 chicken thighs with the bone in. What I needed was about 6 thighs, no bone, no skin. So I decided to make my Chicken A La Nala instead. Well, I had already mixed together the spices for Garlic Pepper Chicken so when I put the bone-in thighs into the water, I just through in the Garlic Pepper spices.....well....it tastes really good. Kinda like Chicken Ala King with a little kick to it.
