- čas přidán 4. 07. 2024
- Hello There Friends! Chicken a la King is a timeless classic that dates back to the 1970s, known for its creamy, flavorful sauce and tender chicken pieces. Paired with a puff pastry vol-au-vent, this dish is both a culinary journey back in time and a satisfying meal. The vol-au-vent, a light and flaky pastry, complements the rich filling of the Chicken a la King perfectly. This recipe is a nod to traditional cooking, bringing both comfort and a touch of elegance to your table. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Thank you, Chef! You have made Mondays and Thursdays something very enjoyable to look forward to for your followers, and fans. I hope anyone reading this has clicked "like," "subscribed," and "rang the bell", or does so right now. The best cooking show on CZcams, bar none.
Thank you so much! You just made my Monday AND Thursday that much better! God Bless you!!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Hi Chef, love your entertaining and very instructional videos. They have improved my cooking. I bought a couple of Woll skillets, after watching your videos about a year ago. I like cooking with them. Unfortunately, one of mine developed tiny bubble holes in the coating. It was still under warranty but Woll wouldn’t honor it because I bought it off of Amazon. Amazon wouldn’t honor the warranty because it was past their 30 day return limit. I probably should have purchased it from your website?? Other than that, they are great pans. 😊
💖@@ChefJeanPierre
I love it with Turkey and always make it left over Turkey after Christmas, but i haven't done so since the 80. Thanks, Chef, for bringing this dish back ❤.
Jacks got the clock..click click click click 😂 I lost it
Butter is Chef Jean-Pierre‘s Emotional Support Animal, and I totally love and identify with that! Thanks for all that you do Chef!
My mother used to get Chicken A La King in a boiling bag and she served it over Minute Rice! It was easy for her to make and tasty for us to eat!
Brings back memories of my Mom making this dish, so classic and easy. Mom used to serve it on toast (puff pastry was to fancy for the us six kids). Time to make again. Thanks Chef, you're the man!
Toast was a great idea!
I love mine on toast. I've never had it on puff pastry, but I'm gonna make it this way next time.
We used to put it on rice.
We also had it with toast, but my mum would cut the crusts off and then cut what was left in triangles. That was fancy 🎉
@@alanrainbow2664 very fancy indeed.
I’m a 70’s kid!!! You’ve taught me so much Chef! I made your Stroganoff with venison last night and the crowd went wild
Hello CJP:
LOVE this video. Chicken A La King is one of the classics that are soooo under appreciated. I must be a lot older than you, I'm 75, because my mom made this in the 60's along with Tuna A La King. She cooked in a diner and those 2 meals were diner staples here in NE Pa. We served it over English muffins, like Eggs Benedict, or over egg noodles.
I reiterate your comment. I used to tell my students, " When you cease to learn, you CEASE to live! "
I learn something new every day. Thank you for your entertaining and informative videos. I get my notifications for every video and I can never wait for the next one.:~))))
God bless:
Chef David
Thank you Chef! You’re so right the day you quit learning you quit living! It is message like yours that make it all worthwhile. God bless you! 🙏😊
My mother use to make this for us with mashed potatoes I thank you for this recipe. Brings me back to the good days. Love land-o-lakes butter!
as a professional chef myself, this brings me back to my mom making chicken a la king but she fried the chicken and put them over biscuits. great memories
👍👍👍🙏
Chef JP, you triggered some wonderful memories for me as you make Chicken a la King. I love your version and serving with puff pastry, wow. So elegant. I can't wait to try this version. We always made Chicken a la King in the 70's and we felt so special making it! Thank you for providing the recipe. You are the best! 🤗🤗🥰🥰😋😋
I had forgotten all about this dish. We used to eat it all the time in the '70s, and we also used to eat SOS.
Is anyone else binge watching chef JP? I have a lot of depression and anxiety but Jean-Pierre is one of the few content creators that can always bring a smile to my face. ❤
Indeed so, a few times for myself when the world is crashing down on me I’ll resort to my favorite chef, he makes me laugh, as well as teaching me at the end of his videos. I forgot what I was thinking about then I went to the store to buy some butter.
I am
Fuck off with your anxiety
Hi LT,
Yes, I am binge watching too! My car was stolen 7 days ago and I need the distraction right now.
Absolutely nothing wrong with the 70's. After watching this, I think I need to take a food time machine back there myself. The music wasn't bad either.
I've always loved cooking. You, Chef have really helped take my game to an entirely different dimension. Eternal thanks! I was the hero of thanksgiving with your turkey tips. Life long achievement of a juicy delicious bird. Thanks again and love from Tampa.
👏👏👏❤️
I absolutely love the old recipes. Food in the '70s was unique and classic. Steak Diane, crab Neptune, Coquille St. Jacques, pepper steak. Just thinking about it takes me back.
LOL! Remember fondue?
Awe 😊 chef thank you for making me smile every video. Thank you Jack for inspiring his videos with your witty humor 😂too. My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE on CZcams 😊
Amen, he is the best. Not only for cooking. I watch a lot of other content too. Love Chef the most. ❤
Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Again you did it Chef, last time I had this was when my grandmother (a saint) made it when I still lived in Brasil and that was over 30yrs ago. Her recipe notebook is an absolute treasure. Thank you once again Chef and Jack.
👍👍🥳 Been following Chef JP since the long, dark hair pbs shows. 42 years in kitchens for me, mostly Pastry Shops.
Keep going Chef.🎉🎉❤
My pastry chef of 40 years would always say...anyone can be a great cook but only scientist can run a pastry shop!!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Thanks so much Chef! I have always wanted to try it! Keep bringing us back to the 70s! Looks like they were some yummy years!
Holy macaroni! Made this tonight, and my goodness, this is one of the most amazing and simple recipes! Straight into my recipe book, thank you so much!
I am loving all your 70s recipes!!! Lobster thermador et all! Please, keep them coming!
This is one of the reasons why I love your channel, you teach the classics that 22 year old babies like me would not know otherwise.
The good thing is, my girlfriend also does not know them, so she thinks they are super impressive, when I do them.
Merci! I hope you had wonderful holidays :)
I love chicken a la King and you make it look so easy. Chicken a la King was so popular in the 70s that the US military even included it in their MREs (meals ready to eat) and was one of my favorite packages to get.
Love when he says a child could do this. He makes it so simple. Chef Jean is the real deal. Thank you chef!!!
Oh my goodness, that certainly DOES take me back to the 70s!!!! What fun we had! 🎉 I need to go to the store and get some puff pastry doe!! I'll be making this tonight! Thank you my dear brother! 💜
We love you, Chef JP! I was a child in the 70s and it was, indeed, a fun time. Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but super fun! Love to you and to Jack!
HELLO!!! JEAN PIERRE THE KING OF ALL CHEFS!!! WOOOO!!!!
I would love to see more recipes of what you cooked in the 70's, please!! This looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing! Youre such a joy to watch, so much energy and uplifting!
A classic I remember cooking for lots of functions. Classic for a reason ❤
I loved, loved, loved Chicken a la King as a kid. The version my family had was the canned version and was served over toast. I'm so happy to learn from Chef how to make it from scratch at home. Also, so happy too that Chef says let the kids in the kitchen and have them stir a roux. My grandmother did that. Keep stirring, she said. It brings back so many good memories of my grandmother teaching me how to cook. Thank you, Chef!
My Monday just got 100x better ❤
🙏🙏🙏❤️
This brings back memories. I went to a boarding school in 70s. Every Wednesday lunch was chicken a la king day. Definitely not as well presented as this chef. But it was my favourite lunch 👌
I love these vintage recipes! Keep 'em coming! Please
Love his joyfulness.
The 70’s were a wonderful time. This classic dish was definitely part of my world! Thanks for another great video and recipe. God bless.😊
Thank you for taking me back to the 70s ... I remember chicken pot pie at the restaurant...
Ahhhh Chef! The '70s were awesome!!!!
I’ve been out of work for a couple of months due to shoulder surgery. I discovered your channel and have made several delicious meals. However, I’ve gained 15 pounds in this time. But I’ve enjoyed every recipe I’ve tried.
It’s cooking, a child could do it! Measure carefully, another winner CJP(and Jack)❤
God bless America! God bless Chef Jean-Pierre!❤️A child could do this. 🙂
🙏🙏🙏❤️
Please, please, please make a video of Chef sharing with us stories from the 70s 😃
9:25 - Chef JP's approach to worrying is awesome! I love the "don't worry". It is so true about non stick pans and how people can be obsessed over using non-metal utensils. Like chill people, just don't scrape the pan with metal.
I love talking kitchen brands. All my pots and pans are Made in the USA, mostly from All-Clad and Lodge. Most of my stuff is at least 10-15 years old. I have 2 Lodge 12" skillets and a 15qt Le Creuset that are over 60 years old that I got from my grandmother. The cast iron cooks better than all my other kitchen tools.
I couldn't smell it, I couldn't taste it, but just seeing it definitely took me back to my childhood. Never this fancy, but with 8 in our household this type of dish was easy for my mom to feed us all. Backing soda biscuits or rice was the norm in our house.
Chef you were born to be a CHEF! you make everything look so easy. I loved this video and will try your recipe. I got married in the 70! agree very good years. Bless you with so many new subscribers could be your expertise and your charm. Greetings from Texas.
I have followed my Mother’s recipe for all of my adult life. She boiled a whole chicken and pulled the meat, used the stock for the base and added, mushrooms, carrots and peas. Instead of paprika she used yellow curry powder. It takes a couple hours to make. I love the simplicity of this version. Make the rux, add premade stock, cook the sauce first, add sauté the chicken & veg…beautiful. Mom always served with basmati rice, but love the puff pastry….almost a pot pie. Thank you!
Looking forward to hearing more about the 70's 🙂
Im a 70's kid, but I never had it then. I first learned this and started serving it in 2000. It was hugely popular throughout that decade. Diced chicken, chicken stock veloute, diced mixed bell peppers, sweetcorn, and sometimes a stick of lemongrass. Most commonly served with basmatti rice. It's still one of my favourite dishes.
You bring me joy...everyday. I learn so much from you! 😊
I grew up on this dish in the 50's. As you point out, it can be served over potatoes or rice, but the contrast in texture between the saucy chicken mixture and the puff pastry shell is what makes Chicken A La King special. Mom didn't have time for puff pastry back before it was available in packages like it is these days, so she served it over those crunchy fried Chinese noodles in order to get that wonderful contrast of textures. Try crunchy noodles some time, the kind you find in those cardboard cans in the Asian section of an ordinary grocery store.
Thank you for another nice video because now I have an inspiration for some of that frozen turkey breast meat left over from Thanksgiving.
Love watching him .he is like my mom a French cook.so taught me everything . Love watching Jean so much memorys
Taste buds are a time machine! So many memories locked in those buds are released with familiar flavors. Outstanding lesson, as always.
Thank you for your FABULOUS recipes! I have my mother’s old recipe for chicken a La king. I have made it but not for awhile. She used pimentos instead of red pepper, she also added green pepper and carrots (because someone in our house, maybe me, doesn’t like peas). This definitely takes me back!
I was a kid in the 70's and I LOVED Chicken a la King. Thanks!
Oh Chef JP, I’m an early 80’s baby and this still brings back so many memories of family weddings in London, I also think vol-au-vents are massively underrated, thank you for this ❤
This dish is still one of the most classic but most delicious (and pretty easy) dish. When I'm feeling lazy I serve this on rice, so delicious.
We're about the same age and I had some friends that would say, "If you remember the 70s (and the 60s), you really weren't there".
Seriously, I've made this a lot. I just bought a Sam's Club 4 lb. rotisserie chicken yesterday and have about 1 1/2 lbs of meat left. I use leftover chicken for this type of dish all the time. I haven't done the puff pastry thing yet, but I will now.
Excellent! As usual, clear, unpretentious, and entertaining. Bravo, Jean Pierre! And more from the 70's please!
My maman always made Turkey à la King after Christmas with leftover Turkey, with frozen peas and carrots.. what a memory that is for me. She also made tourtière, québécois style!! Joyeuse Fêtes Chef. 🎄♥️ Et Merci. X
🙏🙏🙏❤️
Yes the 70s were magical! Thank you chef!
This classic looks so delicious. Please show us as many classic recipes as you want Chef.
I always look for your notifications every time I login here. Then, if I have the supplies, I'll make what you're cooking! If I don't, then I copy the recipe and make it when I do. My family loves that I'm cooking again.... decent meals now! ha ha ha. THANK YOU for giving this old lady such joy! . MERCI!!!
My mom used to serve this over toast. I use rice or egg noodles. 70s? I've been enjoying this for 50 years!
In my family, this is de rigeur for day-after-Thanksgiving -- leftover turkey works quite well.
I was born in the 50s. Grew up with the 60s and 70s. As a child, my parents bought everything in cans. I guess it was convenient for when we came home from school for lunch. This too came in a can, and I was always turned off by it. There were so many things I never thought I would ever again eat in my lifetime. After following and cooking with you, I have learned to cook and eat such delicious meals. Thank you for your teaching experience. 💜
The older I get, the less canned food I eat. It's currently only tomatoes, coconut cream, and chunky meat and vegetable soups. (Which I serve over rice as a complete meal for one!)
i WILL be making this! I DON'T eat anything out of a can ! If I need to make tuna salad, I buy pouches of tuna. No cans for me ever since I'm an adult.😉!
Hello chef my children are now in their early thirties and my son is in his early twenties thank you for this recipe I used to make it for my children they loved it but don't hate me cuz I've looked for this way of making it for many years when they were younger I used to put a can of cream of chicken and now I know how to make it the right way and I'm going to share this with my children so they can make it the right way now too thank you
You are great, Chef! Keep the delicious recipes and techniques coming. More butter and onions! How about a good pasta dish? Penne vodka (with seafood)?
@15:56 hahaha I love Chef when he does his jazz hands, especially talking about the 70's ;-)
Chicken Ala King. One of the best rations I ever had as a Marine.
If you were not a little nuts I wouldn’t be watching all your videos, that’s what we all love about you (besides the recipes being very easy to do). I tried cook a lot of them and they all came out really amazing. I even bought a couple new pans just to step my cooking game up
The chocolate mousse comment made me laugh. I am 65, I was in the kitchen from when I could walk, I wanted to be a pastry chef..., but where I grew up there was no jobs. 😢 I still love cooking....., thanks to my mother. 🥰 LOOOVED this recipe. 🥰
Thank you Chef Pierre for the inspiration and classic dish. You are a joy to watch and learn from.
Thank you chef. I love watching you cook. It's like watching an artist. I love you.
God bless you and Jack. ❤❤
I love this it brings back many memories from the 70s as a 20 something year old! Thank you!
Anna R. Here in upstate NY still watching every day. Spreading the word there is no one like you. I remember you from public television. I’m happiest in the kitchen. Everyone raves about my food. Cooking is truly the children can do. I think we have a pocket of our population that we’re not lucky enough to have the grandparents kitchen! That’s what you channel feels like to me. Love 💕 you guys 💕
mmmmmmm...I could really enjoy that. Also, with slight changes it could also be a very lovely chicken pie.
I absolutely love these throwback recipes. I remember every one and the memories they hold. Thanks Chef.
Man, there are so many dishes out there that I’ve never heard of! Thanks, Chef!!!
As always another great video. Chef you should do more recipes from the 70's. It brings back a lot of good memories. God Bless you and Jack.
Thank you, I will! 🙏
My gramma would serve this to me every weekend when we would visit...on toast.
Yes...she bought it in a can but it was still one of my fav' meals and i still love to make my own.
"Blue Anchor Kirkham" Hi Chef , My first job as a young boy in the 1970s was as a Kitchen Porter(Along with Mark Ormerod "Ommer") at the amazing Al A Carte restaurant "The Blue Anchor" in Greenhalgh , Kirkham ,All the food was cooked on an open grill for all to see. Such amazing food like Scampi al a creme, Steak Diane, Chicken al a creme, Steak au Poivre, Cauliflower cheese , Fresh asparagus.....the list goes on and on but Lets not forget the signature starter " The horderves trolley".
If my memory serves me well it was Alex and Carl(remember Carl burning his leg with boiling water) both as commi chefs (Alex was a Big Neil Diamond Fan) , Dave as 2nd chef (Dating Geraldine for two great reasons ), Phil as Head Chef (a top chef producing amazing food with a great sense of humor) I remember Mr&Mrs Monroe as Managers and later Mr Smith and family with side kick timmi... When will someone do a 1970s food cookbook , not just great memories but Great food.
I wasn't around in the 1970s, but I was in high school in the 1990s and they would make Chicken A La King every so often. I doubt it was as good as this, but I remember it being one of the dishes I really enjoyed.
OMG, I used to make this when I was a Chef. We can tell you're an old school Chef, picking up the pieces of chicken and throwing them back into the pan.
Let's go back to the 70's !! Congratulations Mx Chef
Nice and fast. It looks a little like a variation of my favourite dish: the amazing „BOUCHÉE À LA REINE“ 😁🍽️
Vol a vents are one of my favourite dinners. My kids love them so much, even now they have grown up. Been cooking for them since they were babies. ❤😊
I'm a butter SNOB! It's so difficult to find a really good butter, but recently the food subscription that I receive all of my meat from, offered a top quality, 85% butterfat, European style butter from a family owned dairy with 'pasture based herds'. The butter is called STRAUS Family Creamery, in California. I ABSOLUTELY love it- it's the best I've tasted in 20 years!
It's expensive, so I use it in ways that make the butter the main flavor, such as toast or pasta.
I just discovered a Farmer's Market near my town that also sources a locally made, pasture raised cow herd selling high quality butter, and let me tell you, I AM HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!
I remember even TV dinners, had part of the tray of Chicken a la King! Since then I am cooking this delicacy. Thanks dear chef 🧑🍳. ❤
I remember making this dish only I didn’t use puff pastry I toasted bread!!!❤️❤️❤️
American style! 👍
My Mom was on the Cafeteria Staff at my High School, She made a very good Chicken A La King. But she was a good Cook all around and Baker too. No Puff Pastry though.....lol. Egg Noodles or Dumplings.
Ahh yes I remember Chicken
A' La King and SOS. Forgot all about these dishes. Definitely going to make them again.
So awesome! I use to eat the frozen Swanson version when I was a kid. They came in a see thru bag and you would boil it in a pan and it was so good even frozen. Gonna make this asap. Thanks chef.
I want it to spill over, Chef. That just means there's more goodness on my plate.
"The day you stop learning, you stop having fun" couldn't agree more! :)
I whisk a few tempered egg yolks into mine before serving. Very good!
Fond memories of sharing this with my mom for lunch. It was always my favorite!
Talk about Deja Vu, this video rocketed me back to the 70's, especially when I saw you putting in the peas. 😂 You make my day with your videos, Chef. God bless you.
Swanson's Chicken Al A King kept me alive in the early 70's! College days. Cook in pouch saved the day!! Thanks Chef, I'm going to give yours a try...
Sending my kids to you right now, Chef! I’m just learning and I’m 45 🤪😂💜 Can I come with them? Air mail or ground shipping? 😂👍
Love you, Chef! I’m a stay at home mom and wouldn’t have the time nor finances for a cooking school and your channel is just that! Such a priceless resource! Thank you!
IKR!!! :D
Chicken A La King NEVER looked so good! I will definitely share this with my family. Thank you Chef.
i love Chiicken ala King, Had it at the restaurant. Thanks for this!
I love puff pastry its so good yeah I remember the 70’s I was in high school good times
