Chicken à la King image

Every family has its own version of Chicken à la King. This is my family's recipe. The exact history of this recipe is unclear, but one claim is that it was created in the 1880s by chef Charles Ranhofer of Delmonico's (New York City) who named it after Olympic gold medalist polo player and tennis star, Foxhall Parker Keene....

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 c unsalted butter
1/2 c chopped white onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c chopped green bell pepper (about 1 small pepper)
3 oz sliced button mushrooms
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 c cream or milk
1 1/4 c low-sodium chicken broth
1 to 2 Tbsp sherry (optional)
2 c cooked chicken or turkey, cut into small pieces
1 oz diced pimientos, drained (about 1/2 of a small jar)
OPTIONAL (SERVING SUGGESTIONS)
cooked white rice
toast
lightly toasted biscuits

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion, garlic, bell pepper and mushrooms in butter, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until onion and pepper are crisp-tender.
  • 2. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly. Stir in milk, broth and sherry (if using). Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in chicken and pimientos; cook until hot.
  • 3. Serve over hot cooked rice, toast, or biscuits (halved and lightly toasted). (It's a great way to use some of your leftover Thanksgiving turkey meat and biscuits.)
