You don't need to wait for the holidays to make this. It's also another fast easy meal you can make with a rotisserie chicken!
This comes together wicked fast and it's so easy and tasty!
It's perfect for a satisfying dinner on a busy week night.
Hmmm... typing this up made me want to make it again!

I've never had any a la king thing, I think mostly because of the mushrooms. I'll have to make it and leave them out, because it looks awesome!
I have never eaten this. It really looks and sounds good. Another wonderful thing to do with a rotisserie chicken mmmmmmmmmmmm.
It looks so creamy and delicious. I'll take a plate right now!
Fantastic use for leftovers. It looks so inviting and so comforting.
Try this using puff pastry shells as a way of making it pretty enough to serve at a ladies lunch or special dinner...that's the way my mom always did it!
Looks so creamy and easy and delicious! Great way to use up the turkey.
I don't think i've ever made my "chicken a la nala" with turkey before...but I should. Its just that I never really have that much leftover turkey. I bet it adds a richer flavor that turkey has. btw...I love your addition of spinach.
Oh that looks so good!! Awesome use of leftovers. Beats a turkey sandwich that's for sure. Ya know, I could really use a plate of that right now... Hint hint... ;)
