Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy this recipe, it’s so good 🤤. Please like the video and consider subscribing. Ps, come follow on instagram too ❤️
I know that chicken smells good 😋
Great little recipe 🔥, I found that i didn’t put enough stock in a smaller pot making the pasta not softer than I’d like ( I used fusilli ).
Cooking the pasta in a separate pot recommended 😁
the difference with buying a premade rose vs making it with the tomatoes and cream is insane
For me it's too much pasta. Also, if you don't have a wide enough pot it won't reduce in 15 minutes. If you try to increase the heat you'll burn the cream so keep that in mind.
I’ve made this – 100% legit tasty precooked lunch!
not healty unfor
I swear Adelaide has like a couple big youtubers from down here it's kinda cool to see.
I just tried it myself and its super delicious and easy to make! Plus you can already start cleaning the kitchen while the pot is cooking – perfect time management
Hi Jack. If I have packed Cajun seasoning, how many tbsp should I add in, instead of your variant seasoning?
can i switch the chicken stock with water?
My sauce didn’t thicken up like your any advice would be appreciated
Thank god i found this again
Where can I get a pan like that from?
made this recipe tonight and it is wonderful. I would recommend using some extra diced tomatoes and chicken myself but regardless it is amazing.
Gonna make this and maybe add some vegetables
is such amounts of seasoning are unhealthy?
Is there a substitute for the chicken stock?
Just cooked this now, absolute banger 👍
Any suggestions on how to tackle this recipe with rice instead of pasta? Gluten intolerance problems 😅
You make bulking at uni so much easier with videos like these my guy I’m happy I found this
I was excited to do this but then i saw the 900 calories 😱😱
Great for bulking tho
Started at the gym this month and was looking for meal prep inspiration, came across this and went out and bought most of the ingredients. And wow it's very good! Nice kick with the chilli. Trying to gain more weight so this will help through next week.
I have just made this OMG it's absolutely gorgeous, thanku chef
Glad you popped up on my recommendations. Tried the garlic chicken and mushroom pasta last week and it was a real winner but this recipe….wow! An exceptional dish!!! Also you explain everything really well. Simple meal prep dishes and ill be trying a few more of your recipes for sure 👍 100% deserved my sub.
Cajuns don’t use tomatoes in dishes 👍
Is the penne precooked?
what type of pan/pot is he using? is there a name for it? looking on Amazon but i don't see anything with that sort of shape. i just made this in my 8 quart stock pot but i've been looking for something a bit more wide, like what he's using.
I’m sure your prices might not translate to others around the world but it’d be nice for a price breakdown
Is the penne cook?
Cooked this one up for my work lunches for the week. Definetly filling and keeps me going.
Interested though in tweaking recipe to add bit more veg to the mix to make it healthier; thinking capsicum, carrot and spinach might work – swap out 300gm worth of chicken for about 400-500gm veg. Any recommendations/suggestions on what could work?
Looks great. Will give this one a try. Where did you get your pot from? Looking for something around that size
A question. Can you use tomato sauce and can you leave out the cream?
is thickened cream just double cream in the UK?
Never in my life have I heard someone say oregano like that
This is definitely gonna help me in my bulk phase. I just have one doubt: is the calorie count at the end is for one container or the whole lot? I'm assuming it's for one container (800gms of chicken thigh is a lot) but I'm still doubtful
Amazing video. So straight to the point without any bullshit and the recipe looks amazing. I love that it's high in calories and macros so it's great for people who train!
Okay so is this 54g of protein per Tupperware container or entirely !?
dude your meal prep videos have helped me clean up my diet so much. I'm beyond grateful for these.
I really really appreciate you not using imperial system.
One thing to consider. 800g chicken, why not 1kg. 1,5 cans of tomato, why not 2 cans? Make it easier. Besides all perfect. Sub and like.
Really like this as a dish in the off-season. Not good for cutting but as a nice bulking dish it is ideal.
I personally use lower fat cream and lentil pasta just to lower fat and add a bit more protein. But it's good either way
As European, how to replace thickened cream? With whipped cream? Or just normal cream with gelatin? Or?
Made it yesterday, was amazing!
Thank you again Jack, cooking has been hard lately trying to keep up with work so I really appreciate the easy meal preps.
Is there a breakdown of the nutrition?
By far a life saver, as a truck driver I've become very lazy when it comes to food. Everyday consists of subways or dry food like sandwiches and it gets so boring, I'm going to give this a go and see how it goes. Even paid for a portable food heater for in the cabin
