Chicken A La King

This is such a good recipe.  The biscuits go perfect on top and the sauce is just pure yum.  There's really not much I can describe about it, other than you have to try it.  It's like a lower calorie version of pot pie.  The biscuits act as a crust so to speak.  Give it a try, you won't regret it.
