Tell Me More

  • 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.
