Chicken Alexander

What is it?

Creamy mushroom and brandy sauce wraps around breast pieces, with the sauce doing most of the work here. It's a frozen ready meal, portioned for one and sold chilled at home after freezing, then reheated in the oven or microwave. Compared with other dishes in the range, this one leans more on sauce than spice or heat. Mushrooms bring the main savoury note, brandy adds a little depth, and cream gives the sauce a smooth, thick texture. It's built as a chicken-and-sauce meal rather than a tray with lots of vegetables or starch.
