This is supposed to be a recipe for chicken a la King taken from a
brochure of the 1960s, obtained from the Brighton Beach Hotel, where
this dish probably originated.
"Melt 2 tablespoonfuls of butter and then add 1/2 of a green pepper
shredded and 1 cup of mushrooms sliced thin.
Stir and cook 5 minutes and then add 2 level tablespoonfuls of flour
and 1/2 teaspoonful of salt.
Cook until frothy and then add 1 pint of cream and stir until sauce
thickens.
Put this all in a double boiler, add 3 cups of chicken cut in pieces
and let stand to get very hot.
In the meantime, take 1/4 cup of butter and beat into it the yolks of
3 eggs, teaspoonful of onion juice, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and
1/2 teaspoonful of paprika.
Stir this mixture until the eggs thicken a little. Combine the two,
add a little sherry and finally shredded pimiento before serving on
toast."
