Chicken ala King

Chicken ala King

This is a really delicious chicken ala king that is fooproof and can be easily expanded for as many guests you have. Everyone should have a chicken ala king recipe that they can call on any time and this is the one I use often. This is for 4 or 5 people. Enjoy it.

What you need

60g butter
60g flour
1 onion finely chopped
large handful of mushrooms quartered
1 red pepper chopped
3 chicken breasts cubed
pinch of nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
350ml milk
125ml cream

The process

Poach the chicken breasts in a little salted water until cooked through and chop into 2cm cubes.

In a pot on a medium heat melt the butter and cook the onions, mushrooms and red pepper until the onions are translucent.

Add a pinch on nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Then add the flour and cook, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes.

Begin adding the milk stirring all the time until you have a nice smooth texture in the sauce.

Add the cream and stir until the mixture is hot (not boiling). Add the chicken pieces, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.

Done! serve with boiled white rice. Try some of the other easy chicken recipes

    Thankyou very much..
