A Recent Hello Fresh Favorite + Discount Link.

We're still on the Hello Fresh / Home Chef train (we switch back a forth depending on the meals available), which is one reason that the recipe posts have subsided for a while. Not having to meal plan (other than going on a website and picking out meals that look most appetizing to me) is just one less thing one my to-do list, which is huge! 

I wanted to share a recipe that we recently received from Hello Fresh that we made and loved!

Chopped Chicken Salad with Charred Veggies and Avocado-Lime Dressing

Ingredients for 2 People

Chicken Breasts (12oz)  

Head of Romaine Lettuce

Red Bell Pepper

Red Onion

Lime

Avocado

Cilantro (1/4 oz)

Sour Cream (1 T)

Roma Tomato

Southwest Spice Blend (1 t)

Cumin (1 t)

Oregano (1 t)

Olive Oil (1 T)

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Halve, peel, and slice the onion into wedges. Core, seed, and thinly slice the bell pepper. Toss the peppers and the onions on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking. 

Season the chicken on all sides with the Southwest spice blend, cumin, and oregano. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer to the baking sheet in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until cooked through. 

Core and dice the tomato. Pick the cilantro leaves, then finely chop the stems. Zest and halve the lime. Slice the romaine lettuce into ½-inch pieces and place in a large bowl.  

Halve, pit, and cube the avocado. Place half in a medium bowl with the lime zest, cilantro stems, and the juice of half a lime. Mash together with a fork until completely smooth. Mix in 1 Tablespoon sour cream. Season with salt, pepper, and additional lime juice, if needed.  

Heat the broiler to high or the oven to 500 degrees. Cook the chicken and veggies for an additional 2-3 minutes, until they are slightly charred. Toss the charred veggies into the romaine lettuce along with the tomatoes, cilantro leaves, and cubed avocado. Stir the avocado-lime dressing into the salad and toss until evenly coated. Thinly slice the chicken. 

Serve the chopped salad topped with the sliced chicken and enjoy!
