🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴
✅Ingredients
• 1/2 cup salted butter
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1½ cups milk
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/3 cup heavy creamy
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup chopped drained pimientos
• 4 cups chopped cooked chicken
✅Instructions
1️⃣ 00:00:13 - In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add in mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes.
2️⃣ 00:00:31 - Add in flour and stir until there are no more specks of flour left. Pour in chicken broth and milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.
3️⃣ 00:01:06 - For a richer sauce: in a small mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks with heavy cream. Working quickly, slowly pour in 1/2 cup of the hot mixture into the egg mixture while whisking vigorously. Immediately pour this mixture back into the saucepan, whisking the entire time. Cook 2 minutes more.
4️⃣ 00:01:44 - Stir in frozen peas, pimientos, and cooked chicken and let heat through, 2 to 3 minutes.
5️⃣ 00:02:18 - Serve hot over cooked rice, pasta, toast, or biscuits.

Hi, from the hill country in Texas. We love this recipe. Great presentation. Straight to the point. No crazy music background, and especially no lame stories on how a dear relative made this. We just subscribed and gave you a thumbs up.

[@Musazkhan82]

Hi guys Im a recently single dad and am seeking some assistance from you kind folk.... my two boys love pasta type dishes like me but I cant cook My late wife was a great cook... I like this recipe and will try it. If you have seen simple but tasty recipes you have tried on KZbin please comment the links.... I'm kinda getting overwhelmed tbh just need a bit of help to give my boys a home cooked treat like their mum used to do... Damm i miss her so much.....

[@andreawhite3856]

So sorry for your loss and you'll do great just keep watching and looking up different meals also try shepherd's pie that's my son's favorite

Sorry for your loss sir I will gladly do that for you. Here is a recipe for Sausage, Peppers, and Onion pasta, I've tried this a few times and I love it. Of course feel free to adjust seasoning as needed kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5vVdoOmrN2SmLMsi=E8nBoHUV0sijw6pf

[@chocolatinasmom1227]

Definitely use KZbin for recipes since you're able to watch the meal being prepared from start to finish. Find some channels that you enjoy and go from there. ❤❤

[@raymck2115]

Just made it and it was perfect, reminded me of been a kid. I worked in a small restaurant when I was 18 years of age as a waiter and we had it on the bar menu and it tasted exactly like that. Such happy memories, thank you so much.

[@jeff13148]

Great recipe and video. Thank you for keeping it so short. There are KZbinrs that would spend 1/2 an hour with the recipe you just presented in 3 minutes! I'm looking forward to trying your recipe soon. Thank you

[@eviehammond9509]

Don't ya love the 5 minute recipe for something whose video is 45 mins long?!😂

[@richardshull2290]

Love this video for the amateur chefs who try at home. Versus everyone else advice this is a great tutorial for amateurs. But if you're reading this, 2 years later as of this writing. You can sub peas for broccoli. You can also add peppers, red to sub for pimento. But I also use a blend of white and red onion about a quarter onion each. Depending on your batch. Don't forget your celery and carrots (if you'd like). Don't over salt if you use store bought broth.

[@robertguerrero8009]

Finally a short video right to the point on how to make this recipe, thxs...

[@Thestayathomechef]

You are welcome!

[@Poohead0990]

I made this no problem. I am a 36 year old Male and have never been good at cooking what so ever. I started watching your videos towards the end of summer and since then I have been really into cooking. You've changed my life. My family loves my (your) cooking. Thank you. Keep the videos coming and I'll keep making them.

[@Thestayathomechef]

That’s amazing! Keep on cooking!

[@rdu239]

This recipe is beginner friendly as most of the key ingredients can be substituted

[@crabbycreates2943]

I made this and it is very good...never made a la king before. 2 egg yolks made the sauce a bit too thick; will use only 1 next time. I used 1/2 pkg (1 cup) of frozen peas/carrots, 1 celery stalk and 2 stems if green onion. I served it over a biscuit. My wife loves it. Thank you! 😊

[@patcummings7533]

Great video... to the point without a lot of yapping... can't wait to try this recipe.. thank you..

[@randyh.7782]

I looooooove Chicken a la King over rice. I've never had it over noodles, but I'd love to try it that way as well. I can honestly say, that I've seen multiple Chicken a la King recipe videos, but in this video it came out looking the best of all. Yours is appealing to the eyes, and I bet it's even more appealing to the tastebuds. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@MiniMoments-e6b]

Yea always with Rice

[@765respect]

Thanks for the yummy recipe. I made it last night over rice. Brought back memories of the 80s. Water it down a bit and you have a fantastic cream of mushroom and chicken soup. Much better than anything store bought. I love this woman's videos. They are to the point, well documented and her at ease style makes the recipes very easy to follow. Thanks again.

[@Thestayathomechef]

You are welcome and glad you liked it!

[@deanyoho2755]

My mouth was watering just watching your process. Looks delicious.

[@100PercentOS2]

Chicken a la King is one of my favorites. But the lady in the video brought it to an all new high.

Made this today. Hubby and I love it! I will be making this regularly as a great way to use up leftover chicken.

Just made this for dinner, poached the chicken made my own stock, turned out wonderful , had 2 bowls full. Very well done.

[@bcumike]

Onion and bell pepper make this dish, totally worth a shot. Sweat the onions briefly before u add flour, and then after the raw flour taste is cooked out, add bell pepper and cook for 1 minute before deglazing

[@awesomecreator1]

Thank you for this recipe. I made this last night and my husband and I loved it! I followed your instructions exactly and it tastes just like a chicken pot pie.

[@Thestayathomechef]

Great job!

[@chadwaldron6329]

Celery, carrots, spinach and onions. I add these and get a lot more flavor.

[@Mrs.TJTaylor]

Then it isn’t Chicken ala King.

[@electronictrip]

absolutely! at least the onions and celery! they are a must!

[@terrikukla5017]

Im skipping the pimento and adding your cereal and carrots.

[@BTENERY]

Chad Waldron then put it in a pie shell and make pot pie

[@purcelllash7177]

That sounds great although I'm not a spinach kind of guy but raw spinach I can handle that even if it's cooked down. Can spinach not so much.

[@LandNfan]

Wow! I haven’t had this in years, but my mother used to make it when I was a kid. I had forgotten how good it was. I grabbed the recipe from your web page with Recipe Keeper, an amazing kitchen helper app I’ve been using lately. And, of course, I bookmarked your site. Thanks for a delicious memory. I have a feeling it will show up on our dinner table soon.

[@Thestayathomechef]

Oh darn, that’s too bad. Apps like recipe keeper really hurt online recipe creators like me. I hope you’ll reconsider using it.

[@LandNfan]

The Stay At Home Chef I don’t see how Recipe Keeper would harm you. It’s no different than going to your web site and printing a copy for my own use. If I share one of the recipes I’ve captured, it includes the URL it came from, potentially sending more eyes to your content. Where is the harm?

[@Thestayathomechef]

The harm is because Recipe Keeper is making money off of my work. It isn’t about the user cooking the recipe, that’s what I want and that’s why recipes aren’t copyrighted. But unfortunately there’s a bunch of bad companies out there like Recipe Keeper who take advantage of that and make millions of dollars each year using my work. It’s really quite disappointing. It’s not you. It’s them. Those apps are all owned and created by really dishonest people.

First of all thank you for sharing this video with us here on KZbin....Now this is a simple dish nothing fancy I tried it and it reminded me of when my mom use to make chicken ala King this way when I was a child living in NYC!

Feeling nostalgic for something that I used to eat once a week as a kid I made this recipe, and except that it's a little more complicated than my mother would make (and includes peas) it's actually better! Now have another simple back-pocket dish to pull out whenever it's needed! Thanks!

[@Putain138]

This recipe is so 1950 but it is a golden oldie and it's back in style again. For a real 1950 "ladies luncheon" serve it over popovers that are split open and garnish with spiced red apple rings! (Google popovers if you are not sure about them.)

[@cj_finn1576]

When I was in school it was always served on biscuits. I bet it would be delicious on popovers, though.

[@msmegs93]

My mom always served it over pre- frozen popovers, which used to be made by Pepperidge Farm back when those were popular. They were delish.
