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.

CHICKEN ALA' KING ON PUFF PASTRY SHELL



Chicken Ala' King on Puff Pastry Shell image

Truly fit for a King or Queen when served over a puff pastry shell. I devised this recipe years ago when entertaining the girls from the office. Any leftover mildly seasoned chicken can be used for this recipe. I would suggest baking with the skin on for a fuller flavor or use rotisserie chicken. Cook time does not include time for baking puff pastry. Serve with a side fresh fruit, berries or melon slices. Enjoy!
