Hello Fresh Spicy Maple Chicken Recipe Review

This recipe took exactly 40 minutes from start to final plating and most of it is hands off – one tray popped in the oven, one pot to boil potatoes. It came together really quickly and provided a hearty, balanced, and flavorful meal perfect for a busy weeknight dinner!

As it was cooked in a convection oven, I adjusted the temperature to be 25 degrees lower which worked well. The top still got a little toasty, but it all tasted great! This hello fresh recipe is a winner!

Honest Hello Fresh Meal Delivery Service Review

Hello Fresh is not a service we personally have the budget for (or would want) to use for every single meal. However, we still think it’s a great service to use and here is why:

Convenient way to have balanced meals during extra busy times in life.
Inspiration for when you’re in a cooking rut.
Great for anyone new to cooking to build confidence in their abilities!
The recipes teach simple yet versatile cooking techniques that you will carry with you in your own cooking.
Easy to re-create and modify.

Case in point, reviewing this Hello Fresh post a couple years after I first wrote it has me excited to make this dish again and to use techniques like the simple chili-maple syrup drizzle to add a next-level finishing touch to other dishes. 🙂
