Home Cooked-Chicken ala King

One of my most favorite recipes growing up, from momma's home cookin was, Chicken ala King. It was great tasting and unusual. As I grew up I liked it for different reasons, like the fact that it is great for using up left overs, or the fact that you can have an awesome dinner in less than 20 minutes . You may replace the chicken with turkey, for a little different taste.
