This could very well be my most favorite comfort food in the world – chicken a la king. I used to cook this often for my family when I was still living with my parents in our family home and I still recall that even back then my family loved it – who would go wrong with anything that has milk/cream and of course, lots of cheese!!!This is why I am glad that my kids and the hubby loved this too! I do not remember anymore where I got this recipe but the one I browsed from Connie Veneracion’s food blog is similar to it I guess the only difference is that I used regular chicken cuts and not chicken fillet. I also added lots of garlic and cheese. So for those who would want more details on the recipe, just check out her blog (at Home Cooking Rocks sorry but I don’t know how to link…)
The good thing about this recipe is that I can pre-boil the chicken the night before so that the next day, I can have less time to spend on cooking and food preparation. Thus, in the morning I just sautéed the chicken in some butter with lots of garlic, pimientos, carrots and mushrooms. Then I melted some butter, slowly added the flour and the chicken broth (reserved from boiling the chicken last night) then the sautéed chicken mixture, milk/cream then finally the cheese! Stir a little and wait for the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken a bit and voila! Some of it was served for breakfast; the rest went into my elder son’s baon (since he rarely eats breakfast nowadays)
