"We really enjoy the meals we have from here. They are really tasty, and great if you haven't got the time or inclination to cook. The Thai range dishes are lovely, and we love the Chicken Dijon and Chicken Alexander"

- We only cook with higher welfare, British Chicken. Read more.
- Our Chicken Alexander is great all year round, perfect to have on standby in the freezer.
- TThis is COOK's version of the 70s dinner party classic Chicken à la King. The 'Alexander' comes from our co-founder Dale: it's one of his middle names. We're saving the other, Colchester, for a real emergency.
Try it with:
- Pappardelle pasta and a green salad on the side or try adding some sun blushed tomatoes and dressing with pea shoots.
- Rice and sugar snap peas, sliced in half and steamed quickly in a frying pan. Just fill the pan to a shallow depth with boiling water and swirl round a knob of butter, it keeps the sugar snaps lovely and crisp and bursting with flavour and goodness.
- Or try our Chicken Alexander as a pie. Just heat and add it to a pie dish, top with puff pastry, cut an X in the middle to let the air out, and brush with a beaten egg yolk. Cook in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes and serve with Creamy Mash or any other side dishes you fancy.
