I've been eating this for as long as I can remember, this is my Mums Chicken Ala King recipe

Byamazingfoodstv


An absolute classic! I’ve been making this chicken ala king for years. The recipe was handed down to me from my mum, who used to make it for me when I was growing up. I’ve always loved the way the sauce sinks into the rice, making every bite taste creamy, savoury and delicious.

It’s a great way to use up leftover chicken (or you can use rotisserie chicken).

Ingredients for Chicken Ala King:
▢3 tbsp olive oil
▢12 baby chestnut mushrooms – sliced in half (you can swap for button mushrooms or 5-6 regular-sized sliced mushrooms)
▢1 large onion – peeled and sliced
▢2 tbsp plain (all-purpose) flour
▢280 ml (1 cup + 3 tbsp) hot chicken stock – hot water and a couple of stock cubes is fine
▢200 ml (¾ cup + 1 tbsp) semi-skimmed or full-fat milk
▢½ tsp dried thyme – or a tsp of fresh thyme leaves
▢2 tbsp dry sherry – *carefully measured (too much will make the sauce taste of sherry)
▢¼ tsp salt
▢¼ tsp black pepper
▢2 large cooked chicken breasts – chopped into bite-sized chunks (about 250g/9oz)

To Serve
▢chopped fresh parsley
▢boiled rice or pasta

  8. I would add frozen carrots and peas when I added the chicken. But this was so easy, and I don't need cream. But you can make homemade cream, cheese, butter, cream cheese and other dairy from whole milk. It's easy to do. Recipes everywhere, but especially on YouTube.

  18. Ahhhh chicken a la king for 1 person?

    I can tell, i cook regularly for 8 people. These ratios arent right for more than 1 or 2. (We like left overs….well i do sice i cook)

    Sounds delicious though…. and dont laugh because i dont know this recipe. I challenge you to a steak cook off. Lol.

    No seiously, i learned how to make really delicious "resturaunt quality" food from youtube first…. now im just trying to get the basic "large family" dishes under my belt….ass backwards, especially considering all the specialized cooking methods I've learned. Now im learning how versatile something as simple as a Bechamel sauce is… its crux of this whole recipe!

  33. Hi Nikki, I just wanted to report that I made your Mum's recipe two nights ago and I have to say, it's SENSATIONAL! I'm probably the same age as your Mum and acquired a similar recipe from a chef at RAF Cranwell back in the 70s. How I wish I'd had your Mum's recipe back then. Far more flavour and just delicious. I think it may be the sherry and the fact you make a roux sauce. My make this time was enough for three meals [just] but tomorrow I'm making it again just because it's Soooo Tasty. Big Hugs to you and your Mum. It's now on my rotation list too!!
