Traditional Chicken a la King
Tips
It's important not to overcook chicken breasts, because they're delicate and can easily dry out and toughen in the pan. For best results, simmer your Chicken à la King over a low heat until the strips are just cooked through but still soft and juicy.
Made with green peppers, mushrooms and chicken, this tasty dish is a great family favourite in South Africa. The secret ingredient in our ultra-simple recipe is Knorr Chicken à la King Dry Cook-In-Sauce, which adds instant creaminess and richness. Serve with brown rice and peas.
