Chicken a la King image

The sauce in this dish is different from most cream sauces in that it is thickened with egg yolks rather than flour, and this gives it a unique taste and color all its own. Whole eggs could be used instead of just yolks; while the taste doesn't really suffer much, the egg whites give it a somewhat grainy texture.

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I thought they added a nice flavor to the dish.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but the chicken was cooked perfectly.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit with my family and friends. The only thing I do differently is add a bit of shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce. It gives it a nice cheesy flavor.

This is a classic comfort food dish that never disappoints. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. I love serving this over rice or mashed potatoes.
