Description

This recipe is my version of Chicken ala King. I think the use of red, yellow, and orange bell peppers and the corn niblets adds visual interest to what is normally a rather bland looking dish. And the addition of cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and paprika add an interesting contrast to the richness of the heavy cream based sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1-¾ cup Chicken Broth
  • 6 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 5 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Divided
  • 1-½ cup (1/2 Cups Each) Red, Yellow, And Green Bell Peppers Cut Into 1/4-inch Dice
  • 1-¼ teaspoon Kosher Or Sea Salt, Divided Use
  • ½ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper, Divided
  • ½ cups Yellow Onion, Finely Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • 1-¼ cup Heavy Cream
  • ½ pounds White Mushrooms, Wiped, Trimmed And Quartered
  • ½ cups Corn Niblets
  • 3 whole Large Egg Yolks
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Dry Sherry Wine (+/-)
  • ½ teaspoons Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper, Or To Taste
  • 6 slices Firm White Sandwich Bread, Toasted; Crust Removed And Sliced Diagonally
  • ¼ cups Flat Leaved Italian Parsley, Roughly Chopped

Preparation

1. Over moderate heat, in a heavy saucepan, bring to a simmer the broth and add the chicken. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the chicken to a cutting board and allow to cool.
3. Strain broth through cheese cloth or a fine sieve into a heatproof 2-cup measuring cup and set aside.
4. In a small bowl whisk together yolks, lemon juice, Sherry, cayenne, and paprika. And set the yolk mixture aside.
5. In a large, heavy pot over moderately high heat melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the peppers, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer peppers to a bowl and stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. And set aside.
6. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and the onions to the pot and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened and translucent but not browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add flour and 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.
7. Whisk in 3/4 cup of the broth, then all of cream and mushrooms, and simmer until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
8. Whisk 1/2 cup sauce from the pot into the yolk mixture, then stir yolk mixture back into sauce remaining in pot. Cook over low heat, stirring (do not allow to boil or simmer or the sauce will curdle) until sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.
9. Cut chicken into bite sized cubes (about ½ inch square) and add along with peppers and the niblet corn to the sauce, then cook over low heat (do not simmer or the sauce will curdle), stirring occasionally, until chicken, corn, and peppers are just heated through. Add more broth to thin if desired.
10. Spoon the Chicken Louis over toast points arranged on 6 plates and sprinkle with parsley to garnish.
