Chicken a la King Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Chicken a la King is a creamy chicken recipe made from diced chicken breasts, cream sauce, and vegetables. This is served along with (or on top of) bread or pasta. The rich cream sauce is usually made from milk, flour and butter. This recipe is richer than most because of the use of heavy whipping cream.

Chicken a la king recipe

I know that some of you are intimidated to try this dish. You might be thinking that the cooking process is complex and the ingredients are hard to find. That is what I thought too when I first tried this dish several years back. Well, I was wrong. It appears that this dish is not that complex. All we need is a clear and straight forward Chicken a la King Recipe, which is what we have here.

I love eating chicken a la King on top of puff pastry. The flaky texture of the pastry blends well with this dish. I also use this chicken a la king recipe to make the same dish eaten on top of spaghetti noodles or fetuccine. Enjoy this dish in any way that pleases you. Happy cooking!

      Yes, both are the same. It is spelled differently though in some places. For example, its “pimiento” in the Philippines while it is called “pimento” in some places here in the US,

    I looked for this recipe cause it reminded me of the meal I had in Greenwich, Philippines and I was craving for that Chicken A La King on top of rice. I can’t wait to try this, maybe even top it with cheese and bake it. Also, I’m looking at the Greenwich website, can you also post a recipe for their Beef and Mushroom with rice?Thank you =)
