Chicken a la King

Chicken a la king has always been a family favorite. It was my twin sister's favorite meal growing up, and I always loved it too. Parker had never eaten it before we got married, so maybe it's not too common. Regardless, it's delicious! It's southern comfort food and just feels like home.

3 T butter
1 cup mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
