Chicken a la King
Serves 4
Wow, does this dish have history! Firmly grounded in restaurants of yesteryear and Sunday nite dinner tables of today, Chicken and Turkey a la King recipes were in nearly everyone's recipe box in the 50's. Although those days seem to be gone, this recipe, when made well, is still a favorite today. Quality produce and a slash of sweet sherry make or break this recipe...thankfully, you shop at Nino's!
