I spotted these new boxes a few weeks ago in my local supermarket and having been tempted in the past to try out the Hello Fresh subscription boxes, I decided to give this a go! I love the fact that all the ingredients are already packaged up and they’re all fresh. Normally with things like this you have to buy the chicken to add, but literally pick up one of these boxes and you can be on your way. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that I could have the chicken stock that was included because sometimes I struggle with stocks and gravy’s because they contain gluten! Also can we just appreciate how cute all the packaging is, I’m a sucker for things like this so this gets a massive thumbs up from me!
Now I love cooking, so I had a lovely time blaring out some tunes and preparing all the food. The recipe does gives some time guides for cooking but to start with, for example when I was browning the chicken, I left it in the pan for a bit longer that it said just to make sure it was cooked. Another great thing about this, is that it can all be cooked in the same pan which means less washing up and I’m all about that life! Once you’ve cooked the chicken and taken it out the pan, you literally just add the peppers, tomatoes, chorizo and rosemary and wait for it all to soften. Then chuck in the rice, stock and parsley (keeping some to garnish the top) and then cover and just let it cook away. Everything in the box was super fresh and tasted lovely and I couldn’t get over how good it tasted considering it only took my half an hour to cook. I think next time I’d like to add more peppers and chorizo because there wasn’t enough for my liking, but the great thing about a box like this is you can add or exclude whatever you want!
Everyone that tried it thought it tasted amazing and couldn’t believe that it had come out of a little box. I will definitely be trying some of the other Hello Fresh meal boxes, and I’m definitely thinking about trying out their subscription service too. Let me know if you’ve tried it and what you think of it!
I have had so many good thing’s about this box, will definitely need to try it out now! Especially as I suck at cooking from scratch haha xx

It really was good, so quick and easy too! It’s so easy to take the recipe and tweak it to include more of what you want as well, which is what I do now haha!xx
That looks awesome ! Where was it from and how much?! The bf and I love things like this when we ceebs to cook but normally just end up grabbing a takeaway for ease lol x
I got mine from Sainsburys and i cant remember exactly how much it was, but I think it was around the £8 mark! I get that, it’s such a nice alternative to a takeaway and it’s all fresh and so quick and easy!x
I love the concept. That dish looked delicious. I am looking to try it out.
Wow, this looks so interesting. I have actually always wanted to try one of these boxes. I really appreciate all the pictures too. That dish looks so good, I want some!!
I was always super curious about them, so when I saw it I just had to pick it up and it was definitely worth it! I’ve recreated the dish so many times since then, it’s super tasty and easy to make!!
