Ingredients
- 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) salted butter
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and small diced
- 2 celery stalks, small diced
- 1 large yellow onion, small diced
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- Pinch turmeric
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 thick slices brioche
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- Chives, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery and onion and sauté until the vegetables start to turn translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the thyme sprigs, then sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables and stir to combine. Next, add the chicken broth, cream, bouillon cube, turmeric and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring, until the liquid has thickened and the vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Toast the brioche.
- Add the chicken to the pot and stir it into the sauce. Cook for a minute or two, then add the peas and cook for 1 minute more, stirring so that everything is combined.
- Place 1 slice of toast on a plate. Top with a ladle of the chicken mixture. Garnish with chives.

This is delicious! Use Better then Bouillon Chicken stock and rotisserie chicken fir optimal flavor.
I softened the veges slightly in my cast iron skillet. Added the other ingredients and topped with a store bought pie crust smeared with butter. 425 degrees for 35 minutes. Outstanding. The vegetables still had some texture and the cast iron crisped the outside edge of the pie crust.
Delicious. This is so easy. Who needs pie crust?!
I made this after watching the episode over the weekend. So quick and easy!
Love this recipe! So easy and delicious! I baked it in a casserole did with pie crust on top and it worked perfectly
Such an easy yummy recipe that gave us the comfort food we really crave. No leftovers here!
I made this tonight just as the recipe said it was excellent everyone enjoyed
Watched Ree make this recipe and next night made it! It is delicious! The ingredients come together easily and the flavors are wonderful – from the thyme to creamy base! Will make again and again!
Absolutely delicious. We had it over biscuits. Oh baby – we’ll be making this again.
I can’t rate this particular recipe but it is chicken ala king. My mother made this in the 50’s, I have made it since.. But been around for decades.. Good no matter the decade.
