What is Chicken à la King?
Chicken à la King (or "King Style Chicken") is a dish made with diced chicken in a cream sauce, which also often includes sherry, mushrooms, and vegetables. The creamy chicken is served over rice, noodles, or bread.
The origin of the recipe is not clear. Some accounts claim that it was created by Delmonico's chef Charles Ranhofer asChicken à la Keene in the 1880s, and named after Foxhall Parker Keene. Others say that chef George Greenwald of the Brighton Beach Hotel created it in 1898, naming it after patron E. Clarke King II and his wife. There are a few other stories as to why the dish is called Chicken à la King, but one thing is for sure -- the Fannie Farmer Cookbook includes a recipe for Chicken à la King in the 1906 update, and the dish became a popular staple in the United States during the middle to late 20th century.

Can you freeze Chicken ala King?
Absolutely! This is the ultimate make ahead meal!
You can assemble the casserole and keep it covered in your refrigerator for a few hours until you're ready to bake it (this is ideal for busy moms who want to get dinner prepared during nap time).
To freeze the Chicken a la King, I suggest baking the dish first. Then allow the chicken to cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container or zip-top plastic bag to store in the freezer for up to 3 months. This meal prep idea will be a lifesaver during a busy season!

To Make Ahead:
- You can assemble the casserole a few hours in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake it.
- To freeze for a later date, I suggest baking the dish first (according to the recipe instructions). Allow the chicken to cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container or zip-top freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, just thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat gently in the oven at 350 degrees until warm, or reheat on the stovetop over low heat until warm.
