Hello Fresh - Chicken, Chorizo, Pearl Barley and Cous Cous Salad

Today I cooked my second meal from the Hello Fresh box - you can read all about Hello Fresh on yesterdays post.

I let my son read through all the recipe cards and pick which one he wanted - I am trying to get him more involved in cooking as he is going through a fussy stage but if he helps me cook then he tends to try new things.

He choose Roasted Chicken with Chorizo, Pearl Barley and Cous Cous salad.

Double sided recipe card 

The instructions are very well written, clear and easy to understand.

Tonights ingredients.

As we ordered a four person box and they deliver 2 x 2 people boxes - we didn't need to use one of the blocks of feta as the recipe is for 100g and the pack is 180g. We only needed one courgette and pack of parsley too. 

Chop, Chop!

Frying the chorizo

My little helper!

So much food

Ta-Dah!

This is how much was left over after 2 adult size portions and 1 childs portion. 

There is enough for me and Hubby for tomorrows lunch.

Review

I was really impressed again with tonight's meal, the recipe card is clear and easy to follow.

The chicken took slightly longer to cook than the 20 minutes stated on the card but that may depend on your oven, even with the chicken taking 5 extra minutes the meal was ready in the 35 minutes stated on the front of the card.

The portions are huge, you can see how much was leftover. No problem though as it means lunch is sorted for tomorrow!

The ingredients are very good quality and you can really taste this in the food. Again a big thumbs up!!
