We had leftover chicken and it was the perfect amount for this recipe. Did not have cream and it worked out fine, but had everything else, even the fresh herbs. Used a 28 oz of unsalted chicken broth, half a jar of fire roasted yellow and red peppers from TJ's that I cut into small strips. Also added peas at the end. Served with wide noodles. This is a keeper and very easy. I do the prep and my husband puts it all together!

Wonderful! I increase the mushrooms, add some sauteed yellow onions, frozen peas, additional boiled carrots and roasted peppers to this. I also add a sliced turnip to the poached chicken part. I served this to a Church family whose provider was injured, and his Wife and three children ate three portions before bed! My Son (recently home from Afghanistan loves this dish every time he visits. Hoorah! I serve on noodles...Thank you!

This is a great recipe. The only thing I did different is to serve it over waffles. Fried chicken with waffles is silly but this stuff over waffles is made in heaven. It's not my idea; a great aunt of mine served the dish every year at Uncle Davy's New Year's Eve party.

Just so-so - but the addition of sherry enriches the dish.

In my experience, Chicken a la King can be very bland. I was looking for a recipe for a special occasion: re-creating the meal from my parents' wedding for their 60th anniversary party. After trying several on-line recipes, this one delivered on the flavor I was looking for. I needed thicker sauce for serving a crowd, so I reduced the broth as others have recommended. I also added pimento and peas for tradition's sake. The recipe for poaching the chicken was excellent - I will use that in other recipes as well as using the leftover broth as a soup base. This recipe is an all around winner!

This was amazing, I decided not to use my old standby Chicken Ala King recipe and so glad I didn't! I wouldn't change a thing in this recipe. I put over toast points and next time I will use noodles. My hubby loved it!!

I have made various Chicken a la King recipes and this is by far the best!!! It is easy to modify this recipe based on what you have and it still tastes amazing. I used canned mushrooms since I was out of fresh, 4 dashes of dried thyme, 3 cups of broth (maybe made it thicker-which I liked, and I didn't strain it but left cooked onions and parsley in it. I just poached the chicken in salted water. I think the sherry and herbs give it the delicious taste. I literally licked my plate clean afterwords!!! Mmmm, lol.

Made the recipe per directions except substituted frozen mixed peas and carrots for the mushrooms...unfortunately I am the only mushroom eater in the family. Also took an easier route and poached the chicken with just onions, stock and poultry seasoning. Everyone loved it in puff pastry shells. Think it would also be great as a chicken pot pie filling.

I've never had chicken a la king before so I do not know how it compares to others, but I did not find this worth recommending. I added peas and more cream as others suggested, and served it with buttered poppyseed noodles, but in the end, it was just fine. Certainly not worth making again for the time and effort.
