Love your channel. And I really would like to prepare this recipe. But I don't like double or heavy creme. Do you have a healthier alternative for double creme? Thanks in advance.

@Kitchensanctuary 5 лет назад

Thanks really glad you like our videos :). I wouldn't say that this recipe is the healthiest one but you could substitute in some creme fraiche instead of the double cream.

@nomadtom2420 3 года назад

I love these recipes but a bit iffy about how things are cooked properly on stovetop such as the onions and peppers and chicken. Imagine if the chicken was seasoned and seared first and then the onions and peppers allowed to soften till fragrant, garlic added to the mixture then; followed by tomato paste - sautéed for a tad till aromatic then the canned tomatoes added, simmered for a touch before adding the heavy cream. Wow the flavours would be mind blowing!! Imma make it like this.

@doyle201206 4 года назад

If you had cooked it all in one pan that would have been perfect. Too many flavours lost. But I'm keeping the recipe for my approach. Looks scrummy.

@J0no7 4 года назад

Looks to me like only the bacon was cooked separately?

@amandagrassing7780 4 года назад

just made this and turned out really bland lacking taste and flavour :(

@mikenessxtra123 3 года назад

Try adding some stock powder/cubes or salt and cook raw bacon with the chicken so the bacon flavor gets more incorporated into the dish. Also black pepper!

@karenpilla32 3 года назад

I even added Worstershire sauce and smoked paprika and it was unfortunately still bland. I think the recipe definitley needed more than a "pinch" of salt and pepper. But we are a curry household and this just wasn't up to par, more for those with bland palates I think! At least I'm not the only one.. ;-/

@barbarafilmer3325 3 года назад

I cooked this one last night - it was lovely and the kids gave it a thumbs up, which is sometimes a bit of a struggle!! Great presentation style too. Thanks 😊

@safi456 Год назад

Can you suggest a substitute for the pasta? I'm trying to avoid all wheat products. Do you think I could replace it with potatoes? Have you tried it as a chicken and veg bake (broccoli, potato, beans, squash etc)?

@juliebuck1324 Год назад

Use brown rice pasta!! Works well, just be careful to cook al dente.

@cassiealcaide2306 7 месяцев назад

I'm so excited to try this recipe, although I think i'm going to have to buy a bigger dish! Did you do this in a 9" by 13" dish? Also after i've baked it, can I divide it in portions and freeze it ( I'll be using glass containers). Thank you!

Nicky, you’ve done it again! I only cook pasta for my husband as I’m not a fan of either tomato sauce or cream sauce But I had all the ingredients in the fridge/cupboard and made it for our meal tonight We both had second helpings I loved it, not sure if I’m a complete pasta convert, but if anyone can convert me, you and your amazing recipes can!

@apdeb220 2 года назад

Looks great. But doesn’t the chicken overcook? I would want to cook the onions and peppers first as they take quite a while to soften. Then take out and cook the chicken seperately then combine.

You’d have to make a lot more than that for it to make leftovers after the four lads that work on our farm had seen it lol that probably counts for anything with chicken and bacon in it though 👍

I've seen various videos of a chicken pasta bake, but is there much difference if i cooked the chicken first then add the onions and garlic etc or if i add the onions and garlic then add chicken to the pan?

@karenpilla32 3 года назад

Oh dear, I'm obv the only person who needs to give a negative review here. We just found this bland, unfortunately. The pasta produced masses once cooked, and I just needed 2/3 of the amount produced, or we'd just be eating a plate of pasta coated with sauce. I even doubled the amount of herbs and garlic ( tripled actually ) as I could see there wasn't much there to produce much flavour. I'm not saying it's a fault of the recipe but it's more our palates. We are a half Indian household and we eat spicy and highly flavoured food every day. I was heartened to make this as my daughter likes pasta and the rave reviews gave me confidence, but we had to add loads of salt to this to make it even taste of anything. It would be helpful to know how many this cooks for as I would've scaled back the pasta, but as I said, I felt the ratio was out. Sorry but I won't be repeating this one.

@housewife1543 3 года назад

Leave out the bacon and add chorizo, packs in alot more flavour

@hanlidupisanie8842 3 года назад

I would fry the onions seperately - with lots of spices - and then add the chicken - and then the rest

@delboy1990 2 года назад

You say you have to give a negative review but halfway down you comment on it being more because of your palate than the recipe?

@andrewzzzzzz3453 Год назад

Not sure if it was meant to be tomato paste instead of puree but it was quite bland and tasteless

@marknorville9827 3 года назад

I am screaming at the monitor. You should cook chicken whole and then cut or shred when needed. When you cut the chicken or any meat into small pieces it will dry out much faster than cooking it whole. If you are using cheap chicken's then the chances are it is mostly water, so you are literally drying it out when frying, and then you are baking it as well, so you are losing a lot of flavour. You are also doing the same with the pasta, you say boil it for one minute less time than on the packet, you should boil it for near enough five minutes less than the time on the packet. So you are par boiling it really and then the oven will cook it all the way through. It will taste less chewy and dried out if you boil it for less time.
