I saw it once in a 1930s Better Homes and Gardent magazine issue, but have never been able to find it since. I'm pretty sure it included sherry.

Hi, not sure if this recipe will help or not but it has been passed down for at least 3 generations in my family that I know of.

Melt 2 tablespoonfuls of butter in a pan and then add 1/2 of a green pepper shredded and 1 cup of mushrooms sliced thin.

Stir and cook 5 minutes and then add 2 level tablespoonfuls of flour and 1/2 teaspoonful of salt.

Cook until frothy and then add 1 pint of cream and stir until sauce thickens.

Put this all in a double boiler, add 3 cups of chicken cut in pieces and let stand to get very hot.

In the meantime, take 1/4 cup of butter and beat into it the yolks of 3 eggs, teaspoonful of onion juice, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoonful of paprika.

Stir this mixture until the eggs thicken a little. Combine the two mixtures, add a little sherry and finally shredded pimiento before serving on toast

Answer 4

Chicken a la King is basically chicken in a white sauce made with flour and with pimentos. You can make the base by using flour and butter to make a roux. Make the roux first, then add white wine and chicken broth to the desired consistency. Or for the classic version, a sauce with egg yolks...

Here is a recipie from the Joy of Cooking, another old standby.
