CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN A LA KING



Chef John's Chicken a la King image

Chicken à la King is one of my favorite classic comfort foods. This recipe is easy to adapt--you can make it thicker or thinner by changing the amount of roux and having a little extra stock on hand. Usually I make this with leftovers from a large roasted chicken. Serve over pasta, toast, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ pound sliced mushrooms
2 large shallots, minced
1 cup diced sweet bell peppers
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup dry sherry
3 ½ cups chicken stock or broth
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
⅓ cup creme fraiche or heavy cream
4 cups cubed roasted chicken
Chopped fresh chives for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and salt. Saute until mushrooms release their moisture. Continue cooking until moisture evaporates and mushrooms begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add shallots; cook and stir just until shallots soften, 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Stir in flour to coat the mushrooms; cook until flour begins to turn golden, about 5 minutes, to form roux. Add peppers; cook and stir about 1 minute. Pour in sherry wine; allow to sizzle about 30 seconds. Stir in stock. Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. When it starts to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes stirring occasionally. Add nutmeg and cayenne pepper.
  • Stir in thyme, parsley, cream, and chicken. Reduce heat to low and cook until chicken is heated through, about 5 minutes. Check seasonings and adjust as needed. Top each serving with some chopped fresh chives.

Tips for Making Slow-Cooked Chicken à la King

- **Use a variety of vegetables.** This will give your dish more flavor and texture. Good choices include carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms, and peas. - **Don't overcook the chicken.** Chicken breast is a lean meat, so it can easily become dry if it's overcooked. Cook it on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. - **Make a creamy sauce.** A creamy sauce is essential for chicken à la king. You can make it with a roux (a mixture of butter and flour), cream, milk, or a combination of all three. - **Season the dish to taste.** Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a touch of lemon juice or zest for brightness. - **Serve over rice or pasta.** Chicken à la king is traditionally served over rice or pasta. However, you can also serve it over mashed potatoes, biscuits, or toast. ###
