    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.

    I have been making Chicken ala King for many years with my own tried and true recipe but just for a change I tried this one. WOW!! It is simply delishous! I added pimentos and about 1 more cup of cream to it. The sherry gives it that distinct flavor. This will be my new recipe! Food Network..you are the bomb!

    This recipe had great taste. Next time I will use only 3 C. of broth. I also added about a cup of peas and 2 oz. sliced pimentos. What kind of chicken ala king has no peas and pimentos? My husband loved it over the Grands biscuits.

    I made this recipe today having never made this before and it came out delicious. The only things I did differently was to add 2 cups of peas and served it with white rice that I cooked in the reserved liquid from poaching the chicken. Was sooooo good!

    I made this for my husband and I, and we loved it. I added garlic powder to the sauce and used the stock from the poaching liquid..Oh yes, and I used button mushrooms instead and used half a yellow onion instead of shallots since this is what I had. I will definatly be making again. We ate it with brocoli and yeast rolls which was a good compliment. :

    I made this recipe for the first time, but as someone said before, it wasn't exactly the Chicken A La King I was used to. So I made a few adjustments and it came out great! I added 1/2 cup of peas when sauteing the mushrooms and onions. Also, I added a lot more cream than the recipe suggests (probably about 1 cup of cream altogether And ended it off with a tablespoon of honey stirred in at the end (sounds weird but the flavor really compliments it, try it!. Came out delicious!!! My husband was almost doing backflips! =

    My husband said this recipe reminded him of his grandmother's after Thanksgiving turkey ala king. I didn't use mushrooms because he won't eat them, but this is a feel good, remind you of childhood recipe. I serve it over rice even though it's not a suggestion. I've always eaten over rice, but I would try biscuits in the future.
