Reviewing: Hellofresh crispy chicken legs with scallion chimichurri and black beans over lime rice. 

1 serving prepared 

The full recipe can be found on the Hellofresh website.

Here's what you get:


Scallion 
Roma tomato 
Black beans 
Chicken leg
Jasmine rice (not used)
Garlic 
Lime 
Chicken stock concentrate 
Southwest spice blend 
Sour cream

So many of these recipes include rice and I'm having rice-fatigue so I'm substituting diced roasted potatoes (1 cup). The beans were drained while the other items were prepared.

The protein:

After this was pretty straightforward you just salt and season with the Southwest season and get it into the preheated oven.

The not rice:

Instead of rice I used pre diced potatoes, a little bit of oil and put some of the Southwest season then set to the side. These went in later, about 16 minutes before the chicken was set to be done placed in the same pan.

The tomato and beans:

This is also pretty straightforward the garlic and tomato were cooked first and then the beans added to the pan Once everything was complete it was set to the side.

The chimichurri and crema:

Another easy make, I put them together while the beans were cooking and set them aside. 

The plate!

I really like this dish and was very glad I subbed the rice for potatoes. Doing so actually cut down on additional cooking time and prep work, mainly because I already had some diced potatoes that needed to be used. 

No limes were shot across the room this time, win!  I'll definitely be trying this dish again. Of the three selections for the week this one was the quickest to complete.

Reviewing: Chicken sausage sweet potato and kale soup. 1 serving prepared  Here's what you get: Forgot the cheese! Sweet potato  Kale  Italian chicken sausage mix  Chili flake  Yellow onion  Italian seasoning  Chicken stock concentrate  Parmesan cheese  Not used: Demi baguette  The soup: Per instructions I started by cooking the onion and sausage together until the onions are browned and the sausage was cooked through.  Next the sweet potatoes, stock concentrate and spice packet was added along with 1 in 1/4 cup of vegetable broth. After the soup was done simmering for 7 minutes per instruction I put the kale in and let it cook for an additional seven minutes. Side: Since I can't have the baguette I made some GF cheese crackers to go along with the soup today. The process for that will be posted at a later date. The plate: And flat bread - Kris
