Chicken a la King
​Chef JP Dublado
​

Picture
Chicken ala King is a dish that traces its origins to the late 1800s—believed to have been first prepared by Chef William “Bill” King of the Bellevue Hotel in Philadelphia.

Regardless of where chicken ala King came from, this dish was made popular in the Philippines during the 1960s by Nora Daza, cookbook author of Let’s Cook with Nora. 

This dish was what my grandmother, Lola Adeling, regularly prepared for our family Sunday lunches with my aunts, uncles & cousins, as we gathered at my lola’s home. 

To this day, chicken ala King brings memories of reunions, birthdays & holidays as a child. When a lot of Filipinos left the Philippines for other countries, they all came armed with their dog eared copies of Nora Daza’s cookbook and prepared this dish for their families and passed on their little bit of home.

Chef JP Dublado is preparing his lola’s recipe of chicken ala King, interpreted his way, and with definitive influences from Nora Daza.

  8. Transfer the thighs to the pot and finish in the cream mixture. Garnish with parmesan. 
  9. While it's stewing, brush one pastry sheet with the egg wash and set aside. 
  10. Cut another pastry sheet in doughnut shapes using a ring mold and place it over the first sheet.
