I've been eating this for as long as I can remember, this is my Mums Chicken Ala King recipe

[@rogerwallace4752]

Well, mums recipes are always the best! I would certainly agree that your mum has very good taste. My mum used to make something very similar before she sadly passed away following a long battle with cancer last year. Paragraph

I first tried Chicken-a-la King when in H.M.Forces and would always grab as much as I could! Ours was served with sweetcorn and pea rice. Brings back memories! Sometimes we had Kippers and Custard or Cheese and Jam sarnies....my kids and Grandkids never believe me, but it's true! Stay safe lovely lady.

I made this and it was lovely. Instead of dry sherry I used cider vinegar, and it gave it a nice depth.

Thank you for letting me know of the alternative to the sherry wine. I will be making this today!!!

Made this dish just after I was married ,purchased a Sunbeam Frypan and included a healthy recipe book, this was one of my family favourites over the years from 1966 to 2021, 55 yrs and when family members come home still respect this dish called we called “Chicken Merrylands”

@@MAhmed-zs2vp Presumably the muslims who handle alcohol when selling to customers in their shops, etc., or working in supermarkets, are exempt.

When I was a kid, Turkey à la King was a staple in our house the week after Thanksgiving. My mom didn’t use sherry but rather added pimentos. It added color and a nice kick to an otherwise fairly bland dish.

Well done, you!

Sounds great!

[@satyannair4837]

I disagree. If you add curry powder, you will drown the thyme. As an Indian, I love Continental flavours, as much as I love Indian, and I know better than to mix the two. This was meant to be Continental. Keep it that way.
