Made with green peppers, mushrooms and chicken, this tasty dish is a great family favourite in South Africa. The secret ingredient in our ultra-simple recipe is Knorr Chicken à la King Dry Cook-In-Sauce, which adds instant creaminess and richness. Serve with brown rice and peas. 

Tips

It's important not to overcook chicken breasts, because they're delicate and can easily dry out and toughen in the pan. For best results, simmer your Chicken à la King over a low heat until the strips are just cooked through but still soft and juicy.
