Chicken A la King was quite popular when I was growing up, in the 50s and 60s. It was Fancy Food as opposed to regular Creamed Chicken. I love creamy chicken goodness wherever I can find it, as pure comfort food! I like your recipe and video, as always.
I remember this being on all the banquet menus back in the day, you are right it was the "fancy" food served then, Thanks for watching and for being a friend of the show. Have a great weekend
@@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood I remember this from the Ladies" Luncheons...the Patty Shell circuit in my neighborhood. Every recipe was different, some better than others. The Ladies would hire some of us kids to clean up, after said luncheons...when the Ladies had one too many cocktails. The kids got the leftovers!...I know, TMI...sorry
nice touch with the whole wheat pasta chef John, this chicken ala king came out to perfection, I´m sure your chicken seasoning really took this dish to the next level
Thanks for watching David, I hope you try this out and I really hope it is better than Stouffers..lol Have a great weekend and thanks again for watching
I know this recipe has a bad rap from the 1950's but I love it. Thanks for the recipe and demo, Chef. I'll take a plate-load anyday~It's fancy comfort food in my book. Oh and thanks for talking food safety and sanitizing solution.....more people need to know. So easy to keep make a squirt bottle of 200ppm chlorine water prior to cooking for easy cleaning as you go. Good Gawd at 8:20 that is gorgeous! Beautiful pics....great work, Chef!
I just made this with a bunch of my own spicy seasoning and its so delicious, big hit over here! Definitely going to become a staple dish in my house. I cant wait to make it again and share it with other family members.
@@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood Thanks. My teen asked me to make it & I had never had nor made it but love to cook so I went for it & it turnt out really great. I watched several videos on how to make it & some call for milk and egg yolks and it gets fairly complicated so I was very thankful for your time making this delicious dish and showing us how step by step. Yes I was a CNA &hospice worker for 25+ yrs for the elderly. I loved it. The fascinating part is these people have lived full lives and have the best stories & noone to tell them to . I especially remember a few holocaust survivors & their stories and the stuff they'd never tell anyone else. I had a lady from Germany that married a mathematician & doctor that was friends with Einstein. I also had the privilege of taking care of several family members at the end of their lives here. Thanks again & God bless you as well. Looking forward to trying some more of your recipes.
Trying my best to keep warm lol. This past week have had two snowstorms with freezing rain in between. A real mess. Your chicken a la King Recipe will at least help make things tolerable. . Cheers.
This is one of the fanciest versions of this recipe I have seen...in a great way ! Most just use cream soups :) which is great too to save time but this is really nice ! Looks really delicious. Thanks for sharing!
There is no ingredient list on the site, but that is a great idea to add into the description are of the the listings! Let me know what you are looking for and what your restrictions are.
Always good to hear from you my friend, I hope you enjoy the meal, add all the pasta you want, I hope you don't eat too much I thusnk the Italians call it tooamucha pasta
The tiny bits in the bottom of the pan left behind from cooking the chicken, is called "fond". Only people who don't know how to cook washes away fond before sautéing the other ingredients. Fond is flavor. The only time you would wash away fond is if it is clearly burnt.
You are correct, it is called "the fond". I used a different method to cook the chicken called "poaching". Since the chicken was poached, there was no fond involved to be mixed with the mirepoix and deglazed. Thanks for watching, and enjoy the rest of your day

Looks yummy, Chef! I'm interested in buying your spices, but could not find an ingredients list. (dietary restrictions)
There is no ingredient list on the site, but that is a great idea to add into the description are of the the listings! Let me know what you are looking for and what your restrictions are.
Bah! There's no such thing as "too much pasta" . . . and you know it! I'll be doing this one this week.
Always good to hear from you my friend, I hope you enjoy the meal, add all the pasta you want, I hope you don't eat too much I thusnk the Italians call it tooamucha pasta

Looks great..
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Im curious as to why u added water if u used cream? wouldn't that be the same as just using milk?
I used the water to make the chicken stock, then added milk for the creaminess. Great question. Thanks for watching, have a great holiday season!
