How to Make Chicken Turkey A La King In Toast Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Remove crusts from bread slices and roll each slice to 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
  3. Lightly grease six 6-ounce custard cups or jumbo muffin tins. Gently press each bread slice into a cup, forming a cup shape.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
  5. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, and red pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for another minute.
  7. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to create a roux.
  8. Whisk in chicken stock, milk, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer, whisking frequently, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10 minutes).
  9. Stir in shredded chicken or turkey and peas. Cook until bubbly and peas are tender, about 3 minutes.
  10. Spoon the Chicken Turkey A La King mixture into the baked toast cups just before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
