- You can’t go wrong with a dish that takes you back to when you were a kid. This one reminds me of a dish my nan use to make called chicken à la king. Enjoy!
Makes 4 portions
Ingredients
- 400g fettuccine - (Store bought, fresh type)
- 200g button mushrooms
- 500g chicken breast
- 300g cream
- 4 garlic cloves
- 4-5 thyme sprigs
- 100g parmesan cheese
- 100g butter
- 40g olive oil
- Flat leaf parsley, small handful
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
1. Place a large pot of salted water on to boil to cook the pasta.
2. Slice your mushrooms, crush your garlic cloves and pick your thyme.
3. Cut the chicken breast in half and then into thin strips
4. In a large saucepan over medium heat, place the butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted, sauté the garlic and thyme, then add the chicken breast with a pinch of salt.
5. Once the chicken is halfway cooked, add the mushrooms and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
6. Next add the cream and start to reduce. Once the cream has reduced by 1/4, add the grated parmesan cheese.
7. Cook your pasta (you can follow the instructions on the packet). Make sure you keep some of the pasta water in case you need it for the sauce.
8. Drain your pasta and add it to the cream sauce. If your sauce is a little dry, add in some of the pasta water.
9. Finish the pasta with some finely sliced parsley and serve with a little more grated parmesan, fresh cracked black pepper and a little drizzle of olive oil. - Навчання та стиль
Yes, here in Italy we have an “Alfredo” dish, which is called fettuccine all’Alfredo and it only has 3 ingredients: fettuccine, butter, and parmigiano. That’s it. Later when Alfredo and his family moved to the USA, they tried to meet the local taste, so they added garlic, heavy cream etc to please the American crowd and the name eventually simply turned into “fettuccine Alfredo”. In Italy (Rome) fettuccine all’Alfredo is still a dish (the 3 ingredient one)
@Sue Sue He literally just explained to you there are only 3 ingredients. None of which are mushrooms. You still have to remove dirt from mushrooms
very nice 👌 simple done right is the way to go! much love
I don't know in Rome, but elsewhere in Italy no one calls it fettuccine all'Alfredo as far as I know. It's just pasta al burro (pasta with butter) and it's literally the thing you do when you forgot to go grocery shopping and the only things in the fridge are butter and parmigiano.
Fettuccine all'alfredo is mushrooms washed
@Sue Sue Best thing to use is a brush to remove the dirt, that's true. But you can wash them aswell, you just need to fry them for longer to remove the water which you would do anyway, just a bit longer if you washed them. Chanterelle needs to be washed for example otherwise you might aswell just add a handfull of dirt directly
Thanks so much Andy I am a 14 year old who has to cook for the family every Saturday. they loved this dish alot and I will definitely try this again.🤌
No massive chopping board. No bench scraper and a white shirt. You've come a long way well done mate.
I’m so happy this guy popped up on my yt shorts, he has such a calm way of cooking & the dishes always looks delicious!
Pasta water technique and sauce prep did it for me. Thank you
You are so welcome!
I make Alfredo with parmigiana, butter and pasta water for the sauce. Use good ingredients. Buon Appetito!
One thing I've learnt over years of cooking is when to add garlic. I used to order this pasta from an Italian restaurnt and I'd open the lid of the container and you got smashed with an amazing garlic smell. So I kept increasing the amount of garlic in my dish until I was doing an insane amount of cloves. I still couldn't replicate that aroma! So I eventually worked out that aromatics are being destroyed by adding the garlic too early. Now I add about 2-4 mins before the dish is served up. Aroma city. I also add some at the start with the onions because that adds a "different" garlic flavour.
Hit the nail on the head buddy😃
The problem of this approach though is that the only aroma you get is garlic. I believe usually in dishes you want a balanced aroma, and specifically, you probably want the aroma of the main ingredients much more than garlic. This is the reason to put in garlic at the beginning so that you get a bit of the nice garlic aroma, but not too much.
I always make my garlic oil the day before I plan on adding it to a dish. It will taste SO MUCH BETTER if left in the fridge for 24 hours and the oil can soak up the garlic flavors. Just be careful not to store it too long or it could literally kill you. 2 days is my max when it comes to garlic.
Obsessed
Love these little cooking episodes, One of the best. Recipes like this are perfect for people that are constantly busy
I made this for Mother’s Day and it was a hit! I don’t cook much at all, but the instructions were so good and thorough it was a breeze. One slight recommendation is that I would add heavy cream or maybe heavy whipping cream in parentheses (might be a US only thing) to the recipe in the description. Thanks a lot!
Andy you're the man thankyou so much with these videos its a huge help with learning too cook
Yum !!
Rich and creamy....love how you keep it simple....you make it easy for us who aren't chef's to follow and fun with cooking.....Thank you!
Thanks Andy. This is my daughter’s favorite meal, so I’ve made it ALOT. But… I never made it with mushrooms, but now it makes sense. Why wouldn’t you add mushrooms? Of course you’d add mushrooms. It’s going to take the recipe from a 9/10 to a 10/10.
Can confirm. Even those cheap canned mushrooms can really upgrade your dish to a 10/10
Easy, mushrooms are disgusting so that's why you wouldn't add them.
It is an Italian dish. It was made for American celebrities who are at Alfredo's restaurant in Rome just after the 2nd World War. They took the recipe back to the States with them, but didn't know how to get the creaminess without adding cream. So yeah, I guess you're right; the corrupted version is definitely from the States.
Be keen to see some more mid week quick meals like this. Been wanting to try different things mid week but generally short on time! Thanks for the upload & thank you for the constant inspiration to cook new dishes!
Thanks for watching!
👌 and I like to see his dogs
Just cooked it!!
@@andy_cooks Love the videos m8. Dave from Glasgow
Andy yu have a very.personable personality this is from Goa India
I love how Andy cleans his work space as he is doing the video - gives a very real vibe to the video. I don't think I have seen such realism in any other food videos.
That's what's makes UA-cam
Nowadays it's more scripted and there's too much persona to make themselves look different
So efficient so inspiring so gratifying to watch. I just simply LOVE each and every recipe you put on. You’re AMAZING. ♥️
great video as always...
one thing: Alfredo fettuccine is Italian but is different. The Americans brought it back from Rome to Hollywood and change it to make It easier.
Original recipe requires good fettuccine, great quality cold butter, and freshly shredded parmesan cheese.
Americans subbed the butter with cream, and added chicken and mushrooms.
Chicken a la King. Now that brings back some memories.
Stunningly simple. Wonderful.
Thank you so much from hawaii! Love your videos, you’re very personal and it’s beautiful not many people like you out there! Continue being a blessing to peoples lives as you are to me!
It's annoying I can't like your videos 100 times. Top Chef. From tiktok, to youtube shorts to longer videos. Natural behind the camera mate. Never get bored watching.
I didn’t know what I wanted for dinner but I know now. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I make this for my son and his mates all the time, they love it. Chicken Ala King is pretty much the same but with vegetables and no cheese. Both are good comfort food dishes. 🥰
I love watching these videos.
That is such an easy looking recipe. That’s going on my list for this weekend. I’m thinking I’ll add asparagus to it as well. Thanks for sharing.
This looks absolutely fantastic! I've always loved fettuccine alfredo ever since I was young. I'll definitely be trying out this recipe.
Thanks for the Mother’s Day dinner inspiration Andy! Easy winner!
Fantastic Recipe and amazing little stories. Thank you Andy.
perfect dish from Aussie chef - best in culinary
My favourite dish ever!… but then, I love anything potato, schnitzel, trout. 😊
Again, Love these longer form recipe based videos. Thanks! Keep them up! Super practical but with a pro calling the shots.
Pros don't use heavy cream when they don't have to. But unfortunately after decades of alfredo recipes floating around, every single one uses cream - except mine.
@@denniscrider3776 you know instead milk flour n cheese like you stated on a diff comment, just use egg n pecorino cheese like a real italian lol, u use it in carbonara why not alfredo
Keep going andy👍
Thanks!
@@andy_cooks the hard work you puts in your channels helps alot of people to cook awesome meals👍
Chicken ala King was one of my favorites growing up - thanks for bringing back the great memories Chef!
That makes my mouth water! I don't really like chicken breasts but I can see why they would suit the creamy texture of that dish. I love the simplicity of your home cooking recipes and methods. Thanks!
We made this tonight and it was delicious! I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't overcook the chicken. Love your recipes, thank you!
Love the longer videos, easy recipes as well.
I love this type of video. Easy to follow and delicious recipes to help people learn. Thank you.
Looks amazing Sunday and during the week would be awesome!!!
Hello from Michigan!!! This dish is how I get the daughters home at least three times a month. I don't care for mushrooms but the girls do Im going to have it ago. Going to try the Mushroom toast thing for my girls and wife. They love any kind of sauce or gravy for noodles rice or potatoes lol!!!
Good video. Thanks.
Try adding a bit of FRESH grated nutmeg. It will set this dish off.
Now this is a recipe and instruction I can follow happily
Thanks!
Wow; this video’s only a year old?! Still amazing, but your newer videos are so slick in comparison. You’ve made such amazing progress. Love ALL your work though, older and new x

My dad used to make me mushroom on toast. Still love it & will make some for him next time i visit. Cheers for sharing Andy! The best👌
i love that you taste the dish in the video! Cheers.
Maybe CHICKEN Alfredo is American, especially with mushrooms. That’s probably American. But Fettuccine Alfredo is ABSOLUTELY 100% Italian and they absolutely DO enjoy cream but the traditional way to make the cream is a “matecatore” where the starch from the fettuccine, triple butter, and very fine parmigiano cheese are ceremoniously and rhythmically mixed at the table in front of the customer. The ingredients melt creating a sweet cream. They’ve done it that way for over a century. Real Alfredo sauce is made only that way and it is as Italian as you can get.
Bro. Amazing Food. I just made this at home and it's by far the best I have ever had. Much Appreciated.
Drooling 🤤 top job chef 👌
I made this for babe last week and it was delicious. The mushrooms are key. Thanks for your content - love all the recipes!
I found your channel on shorts a few months ago, all I can say is I'm super happy I found the channel. Your videos and shorts are very educational. Keep up the awesome work. I'm glad to be a fan.
Awesome, thank you!

Look delicious, I will definitely be trying.
One of my favorite meals! 😎 I love tossing in some shrimp scampi. 🍤 Loads of flavor!
OMG. Dizengoff on Ponsonby rd. Now theres a blast from the past. I've been in the UK 17years now. Great night out in Aucks starts with dinner on Ponsonby rd, drinks on the waterfront and finished off with clubbing on K road. Thats a big smile for a sunday afternoon down memory lane.
I enjoy your recipes
Grazie Chef per la vostra precisazione iniziale.sei bravissimo
Been following you since your 1st TikTok video, Chef. I love the content, your background in food, and how humble you are. So happy you made YT channel!
Thanks for the support 🙏
My friend from Italy ( that introduced me to Alfredo) never garlic. He would like at me sideways we I put it in mine! I put a lot in mine!!
I know what I’m making for dinner tomorrow! Yum!
Nanas are wonderful 😊
The best
Made this with my partner and it was crazy delicious. Thanks Andy
Fabulous Chef!!
Congratulations, you just earned entry into my playlists. Love your style.
My friend from Milano taught me to make this with aged parmasan. He said that unaged cheese doesn't thicken or taste as well. PS, he also used cream, not pasta water for a richer flavor.
I like to add veggies, such as broccoli or asparagus. Love the flavor, color, and add health benefits.
Top work chef! Delicious! 👏
Thanks !
GREAT JOB ALWAYS 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
made this tonight for the family. great food. I will have to try the mushroom on toast. cheers!
