Plate it up! Hello Fresh Spicy Maple Chicken Recipe Review
Drizzle the maple syrup/crushed pepper mixture over the chicken and enjoy!
This recipe took exactly 40 minutes from start to final plating as seen below and most of it is hands off - one tray popped in the oven, one pot to boil potatoes. It came together really quickly and provided a hearty, balanced, and flavorful meal during a busy day! As it was cooked in a convention oven, I adjusted the temperature to be 25 degrees lower which worked well. The top still got a little toasty, but it all tasted great! This hello fresh recipe is a winner!

If you pop them on top of your coffee or tea it will melt the caramel a little!

Easy Bacon Baked Potato Soup Recipe
Tips:
- Be sure to toss the potatoes in the oven early or be careful when you peel them/scoop out the cooked potatoes from the peel so you don't get burned on the hot potato skins or the steam!
FAQ:
How do you bake a potato?
Wash the potato and use a fork to poke a few holes into the potatoes to let out some steam. It's nice to rub them with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
Bake them until tender, about 45-60 minutes.
You can wrap them individually in foil, if you'd like!
How long does it take to sauté onions?
According to BHG it takes about 5-7 minutes "to remove the harsh onion flavor and just barely start to sweeten the cooking onion"
Is it necessary to add garlic after onions when sautéing?
This article was interesting. According to their test, it's not as crucial as you might think. If you want a more garlicky flavor, add garlic a few minutes after the onions have been sautéing. If you want the garlic flavor to be more mellow, add garlic at the same time. Either way, just keep an eye on your heat level and make sure the garlic doesn't get overcooked/burned!
What is the correct temperature for soup?
According to Rouxbe, proper soup serving temperatures are
Hot Clear Soups: serve near boiling 210°F (99°C)
Hot Cream or Thick Soups: serve between 190°F to 200°F (88°C to 93°C)
Cold Soups: serve at 40°F (4°C) or lower.
An instant read thermometer is a great tool to have in your kitchen.

In the Summer of 2018 we had a special opportunity to visit friends and get a taste of a wonderful place - Portugal! No list of "top foods to try in Portugal" is complete without the glorious little Portuguese custard tart known as Pastel de Nata!
So what exactly is a Pastel de Nata?
How do you eat a Pastel de Nata?
History of Pastel de Nata
Wait. I'm Confused. Is it Pastéis de Nata, Pastel de Nata or Pastéis de Belém?
Pastéis de Nata - multiple Portuguese custard tarts
Pastéis de Belém - Portuguese custard tarts made from the original secret recipe.
The original Pastéis de Belém is only available at Fábrica Pastéis de Belém
It makes me think of how some people say Kleenex any time they mean "tissue" whether it's Kleenex brand or not. Technically, a Kleenex is a tissue, but all tissues are not Kleenex. So all Pastéis de Belém are Pastéis de Nata (albiet branded with the perception of superiority), but not all Pastéis de Nata are Pastéis de Belém. Hope I got that right and hope it makes more sense now!
Basically, it was high time we tried to make Pastéis de Nata at home...
- Flaky Crust
- Creamy Custard
Which begs the question....
Can you make Pastéis De Nata with frozen puff pastry?
The answer is yes! If you don't want to go through the effort of making your own puff pastry, you can definitely take the short cut and use frozen puff pastry. I used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets and it worked like a dream. In the future, I would like to do it 100% from scratch, but it's nice to lower the barrier of entry. ANYONE can make this!
|
How To Make Pastéis de Nata Custard Step-by-step
- Whisk 3 tablespoons of flour with 1/4 cup of milk until smooth
- Bring 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, and 2/3 cup of water to boil. Do not stir this, but let it boil until 220F or 100C
- Scald 1 cup of milk (237ml) in a separate small sauce pan. Whisk scalded milk into the milk/flour mixture.
- Take the cinnamon stick out from the syrup and pour it into the milk/flour mixture, whisking the whole time. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.
- Whisk the yolks from 6 large eggs in a bowl. Then whisk them into the milk/flour/syrup mixture.
- Strain this thin mixture into a bowl.
How long will Pastéis de Nata uncooked custard mixture last?
At what temperature does milk scald? Why do you scald milk
Tips for using Frozen Puff Pastry to Make Pastéis de Nata
How long does it take for frozen puff pastry to defrost/thaw from frozen?
In general, thaw at room temperature for 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
It's important to let the pastry thaw or else you will break it when you try unroll it from the package.
Once the pastry is thawed, you are going to lay it flat on your work space (I used this large cutting board) and then roll it tightly into a log. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate until you are ready to assembly your Portuguese custard tarts!
See this CupcakeJemma video below for the technique:

Assembling Pastéis de Nata
|
When do you eat a Pastel de Nata?
Should you eat Portuguese custard tarts hot or cold?
There's no wrong way! Some people love them warm, others like the texture of the custard better when it is at room temperature. Still others like them cold! The only way to decide is to try them all three ways, don't you agree? ;-)
Do Pastéis de Nata need refrigerated?
In most instances, there won't be any left over since they are so tasty! But on the off chance that you do have left overs it is recommended that you store them in the fridge.
How do you reheat Pasteis de Nata?
Reheating a pastry like this is best done in an oven or toaster oven over a microwave, for sure. 350F around 7 minutes should do the job!
How long do Pasteis de Natas last?
In an airtight box they may last up to 2 days. If refrigerated around 5 days. But seriously, just eat them today. :)

I could drink bone broth any time of day, I find it so soothing and nourishing. I love that these little bone broth packets from Bare Bones support your day with 10g of protein and you just need to add water. At around $1/pop they may feel a bit pricey, but they are definitely nice to have on hand for a quick and comforting boost or even a travel day! I prefer the beef to the chicken, but I've added some more salt and pepper to the chicken flavor and enjoyed it as well!
Ranking: 4/4 - love it!
