For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. Add a splash of sherry or white wine to the sauce for extra depth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk or chicken stock to thin it out. If the sauce is too thin, simmer for a few more minutes until it reaches your desired consistency. Chicken à la King can be made ahead of time and reheated gently over low heat. Add a splash of milk or chicken stock if needed to loosen the sauce.
