Welcome to Day 4 of our 5 Days of Hello Fresh recipes and we decided to try another chicken recipe. This time we made the Creamy Mustard Chicken recipe, with mash and green beans. Again this recipe was really easy to follow and made a good sized meal for us both. It was really tasty and filling and we both really enjoyed it
But this is the first recipe I have felt wasn’t worth the full price it would have cost. It was a pretty basic recipe, luckily that means it will be pretty easy for us to recreate without buying the Hello Fresh meal again. But the ingredients would probably only have cost about £4 or less, so paying almost £10 for 2 portions is a bit steep. Also the sauce wasn’t as creamy as we would have likes, so I think making more sauce next time would be a good idea.
