Draining chopped chicken

I'm curious, has anyone mastered a technique for draining chopped chicken? I don't even try, but I'm curious about what people have come up with

Yes, this was an agent, not the AI chat bot.

My box said delivered but it wasn’t. I was getting them my tracking number like they asked after a whole conversation and they disconnected like this

Are your proteins cold when they arrive?

I enjoy HelloFresh, I'm i'm tired of chicken and shrimp arriving above 40°. They're usually at 43-45°, even 48°, and once, 50°. HF have given me credit for these items even entire meals, but I would prefer to receive the meats cold. After I call and pitch a fit, the next package will arrive with extra ice, extra insulation and so on, but then we go back to the usual. If I quit HelloFresh this will be the reason.

Dill-Garlic Chicken Dinner: from begining to end.

Recipe was great. The flavors were just right ✅️ The chicken was seasoned, the rice cooked well, the creamy feta sauce was simple and amazing, and lastly the salad had great fresh zesty flavor (I added thinly sliced red onion). Would give 4/5 stars and recommend this as a selection for yourself.

Meals for 3

I just received our second HF box. I changed our plan to 4 meals for 3 people but the meals I got today were for 4 people. Is that a mistake from HF and I got lucky this box? Or can they not portion it out for 3 servings?

A separate note - all of the labels on the meal bags were incorrect in both boxes but the ingredients inside were right. Is this typical?

Seems to be an error on the portion list, I’ve now ended up with 24 packs of carrot and cabbage mix.

Should I skip summer?

4 months in and this is my first delivery during hot weather. Half of the produce was spoiled, freezer bags half melted with the entire packaging being soggy. Do they change the packaging for hotter seasons? Is this a fluke or is this just a common occurrence that I should expect during the summer?

Is HelloFresh worth for saving money?

Most of the time I end up spending money on takeout which seems to really add up. Probs not the healthiest option too. I see there’s a few discount codes I can do.

One pot cowboy turkey and black bean chili

brought my leftovers to work for dinner. I rate it a 7/10. Could use more tomato imo.

Falafel and turmeric rice bowls

2/5 - found it quite bland and dry, but was very easy to make and pleasant to look at.

Thai Sweet Potato & Edamame Grain Bowl 7/10

I love seeing edamame show up in some of these recipes, it is a staple in my diet. Overall this had a ton of flavor and I loved all the vegetables. I wish it had slightly more protein (more edamame!!) so I added a messy fried egg on top.

For me, the sweet soy glaze was a bit too sweet, but I like my food unsweetened in general.

All of the flavors and unique ideas make this a 7/10 for me!

Shepherds Pie

We really loved this one. Makes a large amount of food and tastes great. I added peas to it and glad I did. Fantastic offering from HF.

Packaging

I recently started HF again after a few years. I noticed that they package all of the ingredients separately and not in bags by meals.

When did this happen? It seems to reduce the convenience of the ‘grab and cook’ aspect of the system.

This is UK Hello Fresh.

In my top 3! Refreshing chicken wraps!

One of the better meals I've had from HF. So simple but great flavor - the crunchy tempura chicken went so nicely with the feta, mint, scallions and creamy lemon dressing! 10/10 would select anytime it is available, for a warm weather evening meal.

Is anyone familiar with this error?

Hello. So i was charged for next week's box, same price as usual. I was on my laptop picking meals for a future box when I noticed it said my upcoming delivery has 2 meals. I always order 3, since to my knowledge that's the minimum.

Anyway, assuming it was just a minor error, i went to the phone app and while it shows all 3 selected meals and the add-on, when I click the meal that was missing, I get the message shown in my photo. Is this just the website having issues or should I expect to possibly get a meal i didn't ask for this week and plan accordingly?

RE: '"Love hello fresh but the meat quality…"

This post from last month inspired me to actually see how much gunk I cut away from both chopped chicken breast and thigh meat.

https://www.reddit.com/r/hellofresh/comments/1rss9k3/love_hello_fresh_but_the_meat_quality/oaboj9i/

I didn't weigh out each pile but both are from 10 oz. packages. Each time it took about 30 minutes to carefully cut away the funk.

You can see how much more was trimmed out from the thigh meat.

The other day I got a recipe with whole chicken thigh that took just as long to trim the gunk off. Just ugh.

Smashed Curried Chicken Katsu Tacos

Pretty fast meal and loved the flavors! Definitely recommend using a non stick pan with these. It came with mayo but I also drizzled some kewpie I had in the fridge
