Chicken Chews-day!

Happy Tuesday!

Today, I made Chicken Ala King for lunch and aptly called today, Chicken Chews-day! Get it? *wink, wink*

Here's my take on the dish:

3 cups water
1/4 kg chicken breast fillet, cubed
1 medium-sized carrot, cubed
1 can champignon mushrooms, sliced
1 medium-sized bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small carton all-purpose cream
1 small carton evaporated milk
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp butter (optional)
1 tbsp all-purpose flour; diluted to 1/2 cup cold water
a dash of nutmeg
salt and pepper


1. Boil chicken in 3 cups of water and salt for 10-20 mins or until stock is reduced to about 2 cups.
2. Once cooked, dice the chicken fillet. Do not throw away the stock.
3. Sautee onion, garlic, and chicken in olive oil and butter. Make sure you pour the olive oil first before the butter. This way, the butter won't burn.
4. Throw in the mushrooms and bell pepper and mix with half of the stock. We call it "sangkutsa"
5. Next, put in the carrots and the rest of the stock. Let it boil until the carrots become tender.
6. Pour cream and milk and mix throughly. Then add the diluted flour to thicken the sauce.
7. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve with cooked/steamed rice.


Enjoy! :)
