Cooking Steps
• Arrange rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into sticks. Trim, peel, and cut carrots into sticks (like fries; ours were 3 inches long and 1⁄3 inch thick). • Toss potatoes and carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel and mince or grate garlic. Halve, peel, and mince shallot.
• Pat pork* dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Wipe out pan and let cool slightly. • In a small bowl, whisk together stock concentrate, half the thyme, and 1⁄2 cup water (all the thyme and 1 cup water for 4 servings).
Swap in chicken* for pork. Cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side.
• Heat pan used for pork over medium heat. Add garlic, shallot, and red wine vinegar to hot pan. Cook, stirring, until liquid has mostly evaporated, 10-15 seconds. • Stir in 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. • Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, 30-60 seconds. • Whisk in stock concentrate mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. TIP: For a thinner sauce, add a splash of water.
• In a large bowl, toss together mixed greens, a drizzle of olive oil (large drizzle for 4 servings), and as much balsamic vinegar as you like. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Slice pork crosswise. • Divide pork, frites, and salad between plates. Spoon sauce over pork and serve.
Slice chicken crosswise.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the sauce, calling it "incredible" and "the best from HelloFresh." Some found it too vinegary or oniony.
- Ease of prep: A good weeknight meal, though a few mentioned it took longer than expected to cook.
- Suggestions: Consider mashed potatoes instead of frites. For the salad, try adding tomato and cucumber for more freshness.
- Leftovers: The dish was so delicious that some customers finished both servings in one sitting! 🍽️
- Veggies: Customers enjoyed the potato and carrot frites combo, but watch cooking times to ensure even browning.
Reviews from our home cooks
Incredible sauce. May be the best sauce I've tried from Hello Fresh so far. I hope more sauces will incorporate flour. The potato and carrot frites were also a nice change.
Love the potatoes and carrot frites, great taste. Not a big fan of the balsamic vinegar, but that is a personal taste.
Chicken with sauce was delicious. This dish works better with mashed potatoes, which we made instead (using previous HF recipe). Some of the produce, including the greens, were not very good or fresh, but we made it work by supplementing with other salad ingredients.
A good weeknight meal, the sauce on the chicken came out good, and overall a nice healthy meal.
So good! I just wish another stalk of carrot could have been included.
Loved the idea of bringing other countries hello fresh to America. Meal was super tasty and flavorful. Would definitely get again
Okay I loved this so much almost the whole 2 servings!!!!
delicious! please bring this one back, even my toddler ate the veggies
Way too vinegar forward, both the sauce and salad tasted mostly of vinegar.
Good, but others have been better. Very "oniony"...maybe too much
