Chicken à la King is a rich, creamy, comfort food staple. Wikipedia lists various possibilities of where this “king-style chicken” recipe originated. It seems to be debatable and although none of them have a direct “royal link” to the recipe, all we can say is: “Hail to the royal taste of Chicken à la King!

For this delicious Chicken à la King recipe, tender chunks of cooked chicken are combined in a creamy béchamel sauce with mushrooms, peas and sweet red peppers. Feel free however to add some of your favourite vegetables into this dish: Green peppers, leeks, celery or broccoli work well.

The mushrooms in this recipe are of course full of health benefits as they are low in cholesterol, high in protein and vitamins and minerals like potassium, selenium, vitamin D, and calcium. 

Serve your Chicken à la King creation over rice, pasta, toast or even biscuits. Enjoy!

CHEF’S TIP:

  • Replace the chicken with about four cups of tuna for a seafood version.
  • To spice up your dish, add a dash of cayenne, or red chili pepper flakes.
  • This dish makes for a great freezer meal. Let the leftovers cool down before freezing it in airtight, or freezer-friendly containers for up to three months
