Chicken à la King | Byron Talbott

Hey, what's up guys welcome back today. I'm going to show you a very simple and absolutely delicious chicken a la king recipe So first up in a small saute pan on medium to high heat. I'm going to add some canola oil to it Followed by some quartered up cremini mushrooms or some shiitake mushrooms, whichever you prefer both will work Then you're going to add a garlic clove and some freshly picked thyme to the pan as well Give this a few tosses just to distribute some of that savory garlic and thyme flavor throughout all the mushrooms Then you're going to add some cold diced butter and continue to cook these mushrooms for an additional three to four minutes Just until they get really beautiful Golden brown color and they're very very tender Next you're going to add some diced up chicken breasts and you're going to continue to cook this with a little bit of salt and pepper For another three to four minutes just until the chicken gets a little bit of color and is lightly cooked All right Next you're going to add your all-purpose flour to this mix just sprinkle a little bit over the top of the chicken and the mushrooms Give it a few tosses just to make sure that flour is evenly coating everything inside the pan Then you're going to deglaze this with some sherry wine and you're going to want to make sure to cook out the alcohol Which will take about a minute or two on high heat And the aroma will sort of change from sort of this pungent sort of acidic smell to a very sweet aroma Once that's done you're going to add your cold milk to this And continue cooking for another three to four minutes until it becomes this really thick and beautiful gravy like stew All right, so while that's reducing on the stove you're going to want to grab your rustic sourdough loaf Cut a few really thick slices right out of the middle Drizzle a little bit of olive oil right over the top and then you're going to throw these slices into a 500 degree oven For about five minutes until they get dark golden brown and just beautifully crispy All right, so once the toast is done and your chicken and mushroom gravy has thickened up just generously top the toast with this beautiful mixture And don't be shy just make sure you drizzle all that wonderful sauce all the way around the plate And then what i'm going to do with this i'm going to top all this with some shaved scallions Some picked parsley and some picked oregano just to give a little bit of color because it kind of Can be a sort of a dull dish. So this will liven it up and just give it a wonderful sort of refreshing finish to the dish Oh, wow That smells incredible right away you can you can smell the sherry wine. Oh, it's just so good all the herbs tender chicken Really earthy mushrooms. I'm excited for the chicken a la king All right. Let me dig in.
