Chicken A La King
Yield: 24 Serving
20 oz Frozen green peas 2 Tbsp Instant minced onion 1 cup Green peppers, chopped 1 1/3 cup Boiling
water 2 qt Chicken broth 1 2/3 cup Unsifted flour 1 qt Milk 2 1/2 lb Cooked chicken, diced (about 8
cups) 16 oz Canned mushrooms pieces Drained (3 cups)
16/4 cup Pimientos, chopped 3 Tbsp Salt
17/8 tsp Pepper 2 tsp Poultry seasoning
Line four 8x8-inch baking pans with heat-resistant freezer wrap. Allow enough extra wrap to fold
over top. Use one pan for each six Servings: or one-fourth of the recipe. Baking pans are not needed
for food to be served without freezing. Add peas, onion, and green pepper to boiling water. Cover.
Cook slowly for 5 minutes. Drain; save cooking liquid. Combine vegetable cooking liquid with broth.
Heat to boiling. Mix flour with milk. Stir slowly into broth mixture. Cook until thickened, stirring
constantly. Stir in chicken, vegetables, mushroom pieces, pimientos, and seasonings.
TO SERVE WITHOUT FREEZING Heat to serving temperature. Serve over cooked rice or hot biscuits.
TO FREEZE Pour one-fourth of the mixture into one of the prepared baking pans. Cool for 30 minutes
at room temperature. Complete wrapping by pulling paper up over top of food. Put edges of wrap
together and fold several times so paper lies directly on top of food. Fold ends of freezer wrap
over the top and seal with freezer tape. Label with name of food, date of freezing, and last date
the food should be used for best eating quality (about 6 months). Freeze immediately for 10 to 12
hours before removing packages from the pans.
TO HEAT FROZEN FOOD Preheat oven to 350B0 F. (moderate). Remove freezer wrap. Place food in baking
pan. Heat 1 1/2 hours or until bubbly at edges. Stir occasionally during heating. After heating,
stir gently until sauce is smooth. Serve over cooked rice or hot biscuits.

Chicken A La King
Yield: 4 Serving
18/4 cup Butter or margarine 2 Tbsp Chopped green pepper 1 1/2 Tbsp Flour 1 1/2 cup Light cream
19/2 tsp Salt 2 Tbsp Chopped pimentos 2 cup Diced cooked chicken
20/3 cup Canned sliced mushrooms, Drained 2 Egg yolks 2 Tbsp Sherry, optional
Stories about the the origin of this dish vary, but Patricia Bunning Stevens, author of Rare Bits,
Unusual Origins of Popular Recipes, says the most plausible story comes from E. Clark King III, the
son of E. Clark King Jr., the proprietor of the Brighton Beach Hotel in New York. In the early 1900s
the hotel's head chef sent word to Clark Jr. that he had a new dish that he wanted to serve to Clark
and his wife. They liked it, and the owner agreed it could be put on the menu, adding that "a fair
price must be asked." Chicken a la King, priced at $1.25, was added to the menu the next day. This
recipe is from Rare Bits.
Melt butter in heavy saucepan. Add green pepper and saute until tender. Remove from heat and stir in
flour, blending well. Gradually add light cream and blend. Stir over low heat until mixture is thick
and smooth. Add salt, pimentos, chicken and mushrooms and stir well. Continue cooking 2 minutes,
stirring constantly. Beat egg yolks slightly; stir in some of the hot cream sauce and blend well.
Pour egg mixture back into remaining cream sauce. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Stir
in sherry if desired. Serve over hot toast, patty shells, biscuits or rice. Makes 4-6 servings.
