Chicken ala King is a rich and creamy chicken dish that goes well over warm biscuit or bread. This dish is yummy and easy to make. Most people think that making this dish needs a lot of skill. I say determination is more important than skill at this point because skill can be developed. Simply follow the recipes below and you should be good.
How easy is it to cook chicken ala king? It will be easier and quicker if you will use pre-cooked chicken breasts. However, since I want you to go and learn every step for you to experience making the entire dish from scratch. First is to boil the chicken breast. This is easy, correct? Next is to sauté the vegetables in butter and prepare the sauce. The last part is to add the boiled chicken and season it with salt and pepper. It is as straightforward as this. Don’t worry. Every step is detailed in the recipe below. I also added a cooking video to guide you further.
There are a few items that I want to emphasize in order for you to have a successful dish. The flavor is in the sauce. Vegetables and chicken alone are not enough to provide flavor to this dish. Chicken broth or stock can be added to make the sauce, or better yet use chicken cube (bouillon) to make the taste of chicken stand out. That is what I did.
The sauce, which can be classified as béchamel with veggies, should have the right amount of consistency. Adjust it by adding more milk if it’s too thick, or add more flour if it needs to be thickened more.
Enjoy Chicken ala King for lunch or dinner with your loved ones. Enjoy!
