Chicken à la King

A HERITAGE WE CAN BE PROUD OF...

Chicken à la King is a classic American dish known for its rich, creamy sauce, tender chicken and savoury mushrooms. Although its exact origins are debated, it is believed to have emerged in the late 19th or early 20th century, becoming a firm favourite at elegant dinners and family gatherings. This comforting pie offers a delicious twist on the classic by pairing its creamy filling with golden, flaky pastry.
Our Chicken à la King Pie combines tender chicken, mushrooms and onion in a creamy, flavourful sauce, topped with crisp, golden puff pastry. It is perfect for a hearty family meal.

INGREDIENTS

1 Tbsp Oil or Butter
500g Chicken Breast or Thigh, diced
1 Onion, finely chopped
200g Mushrooms, sliced
1 Cup Milk
1 Sheet Puff Pastry
1 Egg, beaten (use for glazing)
Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
1 IMANA Chicken à la King Flavoured Cook-in-Sauce Sachet

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Heat the oil or butter in a pan and sauté the onion and mushrooms until soft.

Add the milk to the pan and stir in the IMANA Chicken à la King Flavoured Cook-in-Sauce Sachet. Cook according to the pack instructions, stirring until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
Season with salt and black pepper, then spoon the creamy filling into a baking dish.
