would loved a better look of how all the ingredients looked inside after the oven
I beg your pardon I have just watched again and saw it go in with the spinach!
Gia dalla cotture mi viene il mal di pancia: no way.
You forgot the garlic and mushrooms. 🤣🤣An excellent recipe.Well done.
I made this tonight. Absolutely delicious. A total favourite with lots of left overs. I bet it tastes even better the next day!
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.
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.
I love your recipes they are straightforward easy to follow and absolutely delicious, thanks for posting 😊
I cooked this last night but used shredded bbq chicken instead and added mushrooms 😊 it was so delicious! Everyone ate it and I have 2 containers of left overs. I will definitely be cooking this again , thank you for posting this!
So good, thanks for watching :)
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.
I have tried many of your recipes, and each one has been delicious 🤤 can’t wait to try this one. Thank you 🙏
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.
Looks to me like only the bacon was cooked separately?
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!
I will be making this, Sun 16 Apr 2023, for my sisters 65th birthday.🎉
I am going to make this for dinner! Looks delicious!!
I made this recipe for dinner last night and it was delicious. My whole family loved it thank you for sharing this recipe.
My pleasure 😊
Made this last night but without the bacon by accident. Was still so amazing, not sure why a couple people have bad things to say about this recipe. I loved it!!
Looks great, I'm trying this tonight. Cheers.
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 😊
just made this and turned out really bland lacking taste and flavour :(
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!
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.. ;-/
Salt the pasta water before cooking.
Same here....tasted very much like something was missing. Pretty bland
I've used chicken stock since the beginning and it's been quite nice imo
I just made this and found I didn't have the troughs to cook it in. Huge meal. What a mess lol. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, halve it or get some huge pans.
Fantastic videos when doing these recipes can you please mention the size of the baking dish that you use thank you
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)?
Use brown rice pasta!! Works well, just be careful to cook al dente.
Thanks Nicky. It's definitely a crowd pleaser! 😀
Absolutely!
As bland as it comes, OMG just terrible!
Hi kitchen sanctuary please can you say hello to me please because I have enjoyed watching you on TH-cam absolutely amazing please keep making more amazing videos on TH-cam absolutely brilliant lots of love God bless love from paul Roberts
Thanks Paul, so glad that you enjoy our recipe videos, I see your comments on a lot of them :)
Have made this recipe twice now! My family really liked it thank you!
Great to hear!
Thanks you
I'd always used cheese sauce but I have to try this tomato based one with the bacon bits now. It looks tasty and too easy.
Hope you enjoy
Just made this for dinner and it was delicious! Thanks for the recipe 💖
Really glad you like the recipe :)
We're going to need a bigger pan. Looks fantastic as do all your recipes.
Is there a healthy option for the double cream? As in Greek yoghurt for example.
In a previous comment someone asked the same and she recommended crème fraîche.
Yum! thats tonights dinner sorted. Thanks!
Yum
It’s in the oven now. Fingers crossed 🤞
How was it
c b Absolutely fabulous, it’s now one of my go to dishes.
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!
Thanks Nicky 😋
Try adding honey it’s unreal
That looks so delicious. I should surprise my wife and daughter some day.❤️🇺🇲
Bigger pan, more bacon and cheese 😉👌
I was thinking the same, and depending on the size of the chicken more or less right?
@@nickc8496 spot on 👌
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.
Love the look of this!
Can you cook and assemble it all in the morning and put in fridge to bake later?
Dan C Yes you can. I usually do that for all my baked meals!
It will turn to mush. Don't do it.
I made a smaller portion as it was just for one person but turned out to be delicious and I was delighted, the first pasta bake I've ever made. Thank you for the recipe ❤
It was nice cooking with you tonight! x
Thanks
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?
Btw I’m trying making it tonight will let you know how it goes, I’m not very used to cooking but lost my job due to health and so I’m the chef now lol
Just made this and the thyme was very overpowering. Think ill try again with no / less thyme
Thanks! Followed your recipe tonight for a dinner with friends. Turned out great!
Lovely. Really enjoy your channel. Super food pleasantly presented. Homely and sweet. Bless you.
I made this and it was ok. Next time I will not put any cream in. It was too rich for me but that is just my taste.
Straight on coking no BS like other attention seekers on you tube, best of luck girl!!
when is the bacon added?
Add some pesto on the top too!
Very tasty
Wow, big fan of pasta bakes, this one looks great. Defo going to have to give this a try 😀
14 minutes for pasta?! It would just disintegrate...
no, sounds just right for rigatoni.
@@Reizermo Actually I did macaroni ( not the mini ones ) for 10mins and it mostly disintegrated.
Not sure if it was meant to be tomato paste instead of puree but it was quite bland and tasteless
Going to make this with only one variation; more bacon. A lot more bacon.
God bless you
Lovely, Many thanks for sharing A Great Recipe.
Delicious made it tonight, and even forgot to put in the peppers!
Glad you enjoyed it Colin. 👍
I can't use heavy cream. Can I substitute with milk? Thx
I was sent here by school. It looks delicious
🙋♀️👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
Always make this for Thanksgiving, for years now
The way you teach is really easy to follow! Looking forward to impressing people with my bake 😊
Wow nice and easy
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.
Get your own channel up. We like her recipes the way she does them.
Do I need to use the cream as the people I know don't like it
If there is enough left, can this be frozen? Thanks
Looks delicious. We'll be trying this. Thank you.
Can we substitute the spinach with oregano leaves and the chicken with tuna?
If you are after a tuna pasta bake i do have one on the blog thats popular www.kitchensanctuary.com/creamy-tuna-pasta-bake/
No, it's a chicken recipe it will taste like crap...
I paused it after 18 seconds to rush off to get a pen and paper.
How large is your Pan in cm ? But well made Video
Yummy 😋
Looks absolutely delicious. Nice and colourful too.
how many calories are from the whole pot?
I am going to make that tonight loves very nice
One of our family favourites 😍
wut erf a dornt av er larsh sorze frun pahn , fam
set me a place at your house! you have a permanant dinner guest :D
This looks delicious, I want to make this today but want to incorporate broccoli into it, at what stage should I add it ?
Just before you put it in the oven
Advice on pan SIZE would have been useful . However, a very good recipe.
I imagine you could have figured that out by yourself...
Looks outstanding! Very well presented!
What a perfect winters evening meal.
Hi, looks great - any suggestions for an onion substitute (due to allergy)?
Leek?
There is so many mistakes in this recipe
Your chicken is gon be dry tho.
Cooked tonight delishlus thanks x
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.
Leave out the bacon and add chorizo, packs in alot more flavour
I would fry the onions seperately - with lots of spices - and then add the chicken - and then the rest
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?
Her name is Karen
Say less 🤦🏼♂️😂
This is a new family favourite
Great recipe, music's a pain.
I do most of the cooking in my house,I had to since I was 15
Love your smile ❤️
Gotta try looks good
Can I use marina sauce instead of the chopped tomatoes?
Yes, of course...
