Join Nicole as she recreates a nostalgic family classic: Chicken à la King, inspired by her mother’s beloved recipe. This creamy, comforting dish features tender chicken, fresh mushrooms, and peas in a rich sherry cream sauce — perfect for a cozy dinner at home.
While Nicole stays true to the heart of her mom’s recipe, she updates a few details to make it even tastier. Instead of canned mushrooms, she opts for fresh ones, and she skips the pimentos for a cleaner, more refined flavor. Watch as Nicole demonstrates essential cooking tips, like how to properly temper eggs so they don’t scramble — ensuring the sauce stays silky smooth.
As a special bonus, Nicole wraps up the video by showing you how to craft the perfect Sidecar cocktail — the ideal pairing for this rich and savory classic.
