Chicken ala King Cups

I've learned this recipe from my mom.  She used to cook this for us when we're tired of eating chicken adobo and fried chicken. I've updated her recipe a little bit. First, I'm going to share the recipe for the Chicken ala King, then how to make it into cups. It became a Chicken ala King Cups since puff pastry was not readily available before; and we just made use of slices of loaf bread and muffin tray. 

If you're avoiding rice and just limiting yourself to bread, this is the right viand for you. Kids will love this new way of serving food to them. You can even ask your kids to help you in preparing this one. It will be a lot of fun. 

Actually, my son, Joaqui, helped me in preparing the Chicken ala King Cups. He loved grating the cheese, brushing the bread with butter and sprinkling the cheese on top. 

Happy Cooking!

500 grams chicken breast fillet, cut into cubes

  1. Hello, Rachelle! I got your link from the WAHM page. :) I have tried this food at a party once, but instead of chicken a la king, it had tuna and mushrooms and cream in it and I really loved it. I hope you can blog a recipe of tuna and mushroom bread cups one of these days. I have no skill in replicating recipes at all. :) Thanks!

  4. Hi

    Cooking when trying to lose body fat can Be tricky, we all know that. But today I got good news for you!

    My friends Karine Losier and Dave Ruel spent the past year or so crafting the perfect "metabolic" recipe book.

    I highly recommend this for your kitchen if you want to get leaner, do it faster, and have it taste BETTER than ever:

    My TOP Fatloss Recipe Book <--- see how tasty

    Quickly:

    What is "metabolic cooking"?

    Simply stated, it's a unique way of preparing food that combines nutrients specifically geared for melting off body fat FASTER than normal.

    Here's what I really love about Metabolic Cooking:

    1. The recipes are made from foods with a high Metabolic Thermo-Charge; more calories burned faster without losing taste...

    2. They structured the cookbooks around their incredibly helpful "Metabolic Nutri-Profile"... makes it SUPER easy to use...

    3. It's been specifically designed to fight the Metabolic Adaptation Phenomenon: That is what happens when you are on a dietplan and you all of a sudden stop dropping bodyfat!

    Taste, ease, and metabolism-boosting power.
