Add the chicken and cream(not essential) and season with salt and pepper and finally, if you want the sauce really rich add the sherry and combine it all.

Very tasty recipe! Do you think you can substitute the chicken for steak! My only worry is to get the steak tender! Any tips and ideas please.
Hi Pebbles, it could quite easily be done, just use a very good cut of meat like fillet or a piece of meat that has been “severly” tenderised 🙂 happy days G
Hi Graham,
Can one freeze Chicken a la king.

Hi Claire, sure no problem freezing it. Cheers for now G
Hi Graham, I need to feed 16 so wondered if this could be cooked in a slow cooker as I don’t have a dish big enough. Please give directions, if at all possible.Thanks is anticipation.

Hi Cole, you can use the recipe as is in a slow cooker, works beautifully. Cheers for now G
Just made this, because I didn’t have the ready-made-just-add-water-and-stir Chicken a la king packets… Guess what? After tasting what I just cooked suing your recipe, I feel cheated of the real taste of chicken a la king for the past 3 years of making it! Thanks so much it was AWESOME!!!!!
Hi Nichola, so glad you have moved away from instant meals, you are now on a new taste adventure, keep going. Have a lekker day G
Hi, instead of flour i used cream of mushroom soup powder. Great tasting.
Great idea Skiwwels, Thanks for that G
I have just made this for dinner – without mushrooms or green peppers – delicious never the less – served on brown rice with a green side salad – awesome! Thanks 🙂
Hi Anna, fabulous, brown rice is becoming a regular with me these days, try cooking the rice in chicken stock next time.. its excellent,. Happy days G
hi what kind of cream are we talking about jsut so i get it right any kind of cream?
Hi Raymond, Fresh cream from any supermarket. Have a lekker evening G
Do you think not adding mushrooms is a train smash?
No train smash Jane, it’s all about making it to your taste.. enjoy it and lekker weekend G
How many does this serve? I need to feed 16 people so should I times by 4?
Hi lisa, this will serve 4-6 people quite comfortably depending on what you serve it with and I must say I love it with a nice wide pasta like papardelle so 3 times should be ample. Have a great one, G
Hi Graham
I prepared this for dinner last night – it was awesome!!! We have guests tonight, so guess what we’re serving? No rule saying we can’t have the same meal twice in a row…lol
Fantastic Lyonel, I just love it that you enjoyed. I agree, if it is tasty and easy have it as often as you like.. Have a great time G
