One Pot Wonder with chicken and chorizo | My go-to winter dish that's super easy! 

“Just because you are a good chef it doesn’t mean you are a good home cook” Amazing quote from a humble great chef! Keep it Andy, you rock!

I’m 62 years old and love to cook, I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your recipes and time. I also love the fact that “Basic Mitch” seams like he’s starting to broaden his meal selection.

I absolutely love this guy. I love that he's using ingredients that are found in the average household that look exactly like what I have in my fridge. Wilted Brocollini, Canned goods and the few things we often buy to make a dish at home.

Hey Andy....Just made this tonight and it's great. I used chicken and turkey kielbasa and everyone liked it. My wife is going thru kemo treatments and her tastes buds are all out of whack. So just wanted to try something different to make. Just wanted to let you know that I've enjoyed your shorts and I'll keep watching.

Probably one of your best videos yet Andy. Good to see you emphasise the importance of reducing waste of food, but also teaching cooking tips at the same time. Keep it up! Chur

Chef Andy is just the best!

I love the kitchen layout. Also really love the emphasis on "use what you have" instead of counting celery stalks and carrots for a recipe.

Living in a small nyc apartment w/ no dishwasher and about 2 feet of counter space I deeply appreciate the one pot meals. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Really appreciate how you show people to make a nice meal with what they already have, you are encouraging people to be okay with not having a recipe but to trust their instinct. That's the way I learned to cook.

Really loving these videos - great idea to show an approach rather than a recipe - keep up the good work champ

Why does he seem so incredibly honest and pure? i just love him

You’ve got my vote Andy. I’m such a firm believer in reducing food waste and mixing it up with leftover ingredients. Their’s nothing you can’t achieve with your random ingredients if you’ve got a few pantry essentials. And they don’t cost an arm and a leg either. This is a brilliant video. Thank you

Hi Andy, I've watched lots of your short videos lately, they keep popping up in my feed and I absolutely love them. Thank you for all the love for cooking from scratch and eating well, you put in them. So here I was looking for one pot meals and there was a familiar face coming up. After 5 minutes into the video I just had to leave a comment. It's so nice watching a cook show where the host tells the audience to check the larder and prepare what they have got. Sounds more like a realistic situation and makes a lot of sense to not let things go to waste. I'm 60 y/o and this is how I was raised, how grandma and mom taught me how to cook - see what you have and make a good meal of it. Well, actually, they didn't really teach me, I learnt by watching, helping and doing things the way they did. Cooking is something that requires all of our senses plus an additional one - knowing how to make ends meet. At present, with the groceries getting more and more expensive, it does make a difference when we make good use of what we've bought. So, thumbs up for your videos. Please, keep them coming, they are very much appreciated. All the best from the Bavarian alpine region🙋🏻‍♀ Lisa

I love to watch you cook

I am a private chef and I want to thank you for your amazing content! I get so many ideas from your channel. Thank you for being so awesome!

You're an excellent teacher! I'm going to use up everything in my fridge for this type of meal tomorrow night. I'll sub in chick peas, pepperoni and chicken thighs. Looking forward to it yum!

I really appreciate being a person who tries to use what you have! I hate wasting food- soups are always so great for that!

Started watching your “Hey Babe” shorts, now graduated onto full length videos. Really enjoy the recipes, your presentation, easy-going and humble manner. Just subscribed and hit the bell. 👍👍

I am not a trained chef but I have apparently been channeling your amazing talent. This is exactly like one of my “kitchen sink” recipes. LOL. I cook like you do and my family thinks I am the best. Love watching your “what do you want for lunch, babe” videos. Thanks for being an amazing inspiration

Love these types of videos. I hope you will do more quick weeknight meals! Perhaps pressure cooker (instant pot) meals? I’ve also commented this before, but I would love to see a pantry and fridge tour, along with your recommendations on what ingredients and spices to always keep on hand.

It’s been cold and rainy here in 2023…looks like the perfect dish to put over rice.❤

I make a dish for my family and I call it winter soup, it is still evolving it's a bit different every time but it is very simple and delicious

I did this (not a recipe) recipe last weekend & it was a joy to cook! Served with some roasted potatoes - lovely! Thanks for sharing this mate ❤

Hi Chef! It's summer here in France but I will definitely include this in my batch cooking session tomorrow morning. I am a new subscriber and I really enjoy your content, it so inspiring. I love your catch phrase asking Babe what she wants to eat, it makes me smile every time. Have a nice weekend

You are a champion Andy, easy, quick and tasty. Legend!

Hey Andy, it would be great to one day get an episode on all the cooking equipment you own, including cookware, tools, machines etc!

Love your work mate, based in Sunrise beach and it's awesome to see content coming from the sunny coast. Cheers!

I inherited my mum and dads Le Creuset stew pot which they had as a wedding gift 40 years ago and it’s still going strong, but the best and it shows

I love dishes like this, we. All it comfort food. From California.

Perfect for a cold rainy day

I do this all the time. Whatever protein source I have (even mixed grain and legume, vegetarian stuff) all the about to turn veggies in the fridge, tomato sauce sometimes but sometimes a 'white sauce', particularly with fish, pork or other white meat, and appropriate herbs and spices. I love watching your joyful show! As usual, you provide both inspiration and validation. Super!

I love one pot meals. They are so versatile and can use up stuff that is close to their end.

Thanks, mate! Just found your channel and as a home cook relearning cooking after TBI, it's just great to be able to cook along with you here! Big love!!

This dish has become a weekly dish in my house. Different every time and always delicious with the cayenne, cumin and coriander spice triad!

Mmm. chopped waxy potatoes added in would be yum too

Beautiful video and perspective. After 15 years in professional kitchens, I can attest that covid made me come to terms with my home cooking ability. Thanks chef!

That meal couldn't be anymore true to honestly a man knowing how to utilize things in his fridge and making it look great. I want a bowl I'm in florida. Send asap. That recipe became a recipe after he made it.

I am the master of this sort of dish. Its the other dishes I can't manage! Great work Andy

Great way to clear out the fridge in preparation for restocking. And a tasty meal in the boot!

oh yea, it's winter down under... easy to forget when it's hot as balls in North America

I’d like to think I’m a good cook,my Mrs thinks I am but have lost my eagerness to cook but watching your videos has re ignited the cooking flame 🔥 so thank you

‘Let’s get stuck in’ said Andy always. Where’s the Let’s get stuck in mercy?!? Congrats on your cookbook. It’s been a total joy following your journey. I’ve seen this one a few times. Never gets old! Great reminder to reduce food waste and to trust your gut!

I'm so excited and grateful that I stumbled upon your channel! So much fun to watch, informative and inspiring. Keep up with the babe what do you want to eat approach. From my kitchen to yours, an uncommon suggestion and meal request, Nashville hot chicken. Very interested in watching your approach from abroad. Thanks for doing what you do friend.

Chef Andy. As a home cook who is always looking for tasty new dishes to serve the family, thank you. I'll be making this sometime this week! Looks amazing 🤩

Love this home-cooking perspective and how you got every bit of goodness out of the tomato can with the water! You make delicious cooking so accessible! Thanks, Andy! And happy belated birthday to Babe! 😊🌻🎉

Love this chilled out format mate.

I have been cooking this kind of winter comfort food for years, as Chef Andy says it’s simple, healthy and tasty plus indeed uses up old veg in the fridge. You could also add carrots, celery, eggplant or whatever you have. In winter I would also serve this possibly with polenta, pasta or even couscous (if I had used cumin, corriander and paprika, or turmeric. If you wanted it more italian/spanish/french than probably you would use herbs like oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary. It’s cooking so versatile.

Great reminder of what I did when the kids were little and money was tight. Called it "Kitchen sink soup". Everything but the kitchen sink. I love your voice and the way you talk. Very easy, no stumbling over your own tongue. This is the 5th one of your vids I've watched in a row. Thanks Andy!

My kind of cooking! Great job! I do soups, stews, pot roasts a lot, switch up ingredients as I have them and make enough for leftovers. I'm getting older, and leftovers are convenient and tasty. I have a cast iron dutch oven and love cooking in it. I really like your home cook approach to this soup. I am a big fan all the time.

Good stuff Andy! Loved the instructions and the tips and tricks to make it all run smoothly. Cheers!

I love watching you cook. You make it look so easy. Hopefully after watching you for a while, I will grow to like cooking cause right now, I'm not a big fan of the task. Your Frenchi is not poorly trained, that's just how french bulldogs are. Always looking for a scrap.

Love this recipe mate cheers from the caribbean ...as we say down here nuff love my brother 👊

OMG delish! Great for lunches too! Every tip helps!

Learning how to cook stews is literally life changing. Once I learned how to cook stws I liked from pantry staples snd left overs my food budget dropped sharply as I tend to make a quick stew rather then fast food. Still eat fast food but much more rarely! Great lesson!

I think that this is your most important recipe. The emphasis on using whatever you have is key.

One-pot-wonder is my favorite kind of dish to make at home. Just so easy and effective and saves you time spent in the kitchen.

Hi Chef, love your style of cooking, especially the One Pot Wonder. I’ve been cooking for over 50 years and put an Italian spin on contents with meats, sausages and spices. Also, my family loves sun dried tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts and black olives added to some creations. I love one pot meals for our camping/RV trips. Canned and fresh veggies plus fresh or thawed chopped or ground meat can provide a variety of meals for a couple or a family when cooking on a camp stove. Clean up is easy. Leftovers are tastier and meal prep is a breeze the following day. Buon appetito from northeast USA!

love one pot meals 😋👍

So glad that this is my wheelhouse. Using up all the bits and pieces, never have an issue making a good meal out of seemingly nothing. Cheers chef.

Made this on NYE 2023 with a mirepoix and some potatoes and broccolini leftover in the veg compartment. Sooo good, thanks Andy! Happy New Year 2024!

Andy is one of the most humble and down to earth chefs on RU-vid, I really enjoy your content mate

Love the distinction between home cook and pro chef. Having been a pro chef my food love all goes into my home cooking now

This was a great video ❣️ All the way through it I was nodding along with you. So much of your process is my process and not just for this sort of recipe. You hinted at the key guiding lights. #1. How many will eat and #2. What's in the fridge. This makes a terrific stew especially topped with dumplings. I really appreciate your remembering the home cook with a tight budget.❤

Thanks Andy 👍👍🙌

This is brilliant. I use this technique for soups, so now I can use this for leftover veges and meat, cheers mate

It looks great! A great way too as you say, reduce our food waste! Thanks for sharing!

This is wonderful. Thanks Andy

Love your videos,you have such a relaxed and encouraging way of showing me how to cook.

I love this with Italian sausage; chickpeas, chicken, baby spinach, tomatoes, Calabrian chili, garlic, onion, zucchini, basil, and rosemary. I’d also add some ditalini.

Happy Birthday Babe!!! Andy you are a fantastic chef and using your influence online to educate and inspire thanks for all the great videos and shorts with great ideas hints and tips!!! Have a great day guys. 😊

Buy once, cry once is the way I've heard it and I totally agree. I love buying quality things that I can use and still pass on to my kid.

I am starting to love this dudes style! Absolutely wonderful and fresh take on this internet chef bussnies! Do want you love and be happy man!

I love this guy's video's...very pleasing to watch as they show you what you need..how to prep it..cook it..and with some very sound advise before and during the cooking..plus no agonising preping to watch

Perfect din-din dish for the winter time

Oh HELL yes. I love these dishes. This will be made, it will go into my fridge and meal prep is done for the week.

Hey chef.... I m your biggest fan from India 🇮🇳..... I have one request please start sharing some veg dishes also... I love cooking .... and want to cook dishes which I learned from my favorite chef that's you....

Thanks for all your help Andy! I’ve learnt so much from you

I love dishes like this every thing in the pot and yummy. Thank you for sharing Andy have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏

Thanks for the tip. Made my one pot chicken and chorizo tonight. Inspiring!

Really enjoy your videos. Am going to use this. I can’t agree more about reducing your food waste.

I’ve cooked this so many times……. Lasts me about 4 days. One of my favourites

Theres never too much Garlic 😅. Nonna and Mum called this Rumford Pot. We eat that every Friday . All the Left Veggies and Sausage or Meat from the Week goes in it and we loved it, because it always taste different .and we did not waste any Food .We still do and now our Kids make this every Friday for their Family too.

This is one of my favorite videos from your Channel. The importance of not letting food go to waste and how you do it. Will definitely be getting a dough cutter as well. Thanks for always posting

Love the quickies! Single mom and seems I never have enough time! Thank-you 🎉

Fabulous video. Loved the tip about seasoning throughout. Great to see a focus on using good up. I am from the UK but love this guy's videos. Please continue to take them. You are appreciated.

Thanks for sharing some of your favorite home cooking!

Some rice or some pasta are the perfect companion for the deliciousnes that you have on that pot.

Absolutely love you’re content. Great personality for youtube.

Love it, almost identical to the one we cook even down to the brand of tinned tomatoes and beans. Sometimes we add a cup of chicken stock and throw in some Arborio rice and it stretches it out a bit. Very tasty.

Love your shorts but really love when you do regular videos such as this! Well done- looks delicious!

I inherited my parents dutch oven that they bought in 1960 when they got married...use it probably 2 to 3 times a week...love 1 pot meals. Going to try this tonight

Favourite cooking channel on youtube by far

Love your channel Andy. Tried this recipe tonight, but slow cooked it over 4 hours. Worked really well. I’d love to see you cook a Paella. I love Paella and would be really interest to see how you do it.

Perfect comfort food.

Chef, this is such a super great instructional vid. The proper layering of ingredients is so important. Thank you! My next clean out my fridge/freezer I'll keep this in mind and create whatever it brings, spices included 😊

Love your food. Its exactly how I love to cook at home. Especially like that you can see the garden from the window.

ANDY, you ROCK! My best friend works at a grocery store and there are dates on everything. The other day she was telling me as she walked by the person doing the waste was she noticed the person was throwing away onions in a net bag. They were stale dated and being thrown out! (I've had onions in my cold storage for 9 months) dates are so arbitrary! (I have a 5 minute rant on it... Ranting from the sofa on my channel) love love LOVE you are an advocate for less food waste... No more dates! Not more dates! Lol

Love this - I do a similar meal every week or so during winter. My only suggestion would be to have frozen vegetables handy too - in the UK frozen peas, spinach and other vegetables are readily available at most supermarkets.

This is similar to a one-pot chicken and green bean dish I do semi regularly up here in Sweden were I use up all my veggies. I surely will try add chorizo next time.

Happy Birthday, Babe! Such a beautiful couple. What a great video, great messaging about method, food utilization and waste. Love your style, content and accessible personality. You are such a joy to watch and hear.
