Lime-Oregano Chicken Cutlets with Sautéed Zucchini + Crunchy Cabbage-Radish Slaw

A weeknight Mediterranean-style plate that feels restaurant-y: juicy lemon-herb chicken cutlets with crisp-edged zucchini and a bright, crunchy cabbage–radish slaw. It’s light, zippy, and very Texas-March friendly (cabbage, radishes, citrus).

Ingredients

  • Simple Truth® Natural Boneless Skinless Fresh Chicken Breast Cutlets (1 lb) 1 lb $3.50 (sale)
  • Zucchini 1 lb, cut into 1/2-inch half-moons $1.19/lb
  • Green Cabbage 1 lb (about 1/2 medium), thinly sliced $0.79/lb
  • Kroger® Radishes (16 oz) 1 bag, thinly sliced $1.99
  • Fresh Limes 1 lime, juiced (plus wedges to serve if you like) $0.89 each
  • Jumbo Yellow Onions 1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional, for slaw) $0.89/lb

Instructions

  1. Prep: Pat dry 1 lb chicken breast cutlets; season both sides with 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper (use what you have). Zest/juice 1 lime into a small bowl; stir in 2 tbsp olive oil (pantry) and 1 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning).
  2. Prep: Slice 1 lb zucchini into 1/2-inch half-moons. Thinly slice about 1 lb green cabbage (about 1/2 a medium head). Thinly slice 1 bag (16 oz) radishes. If using onion, thinly slice 1 small onion.
  3. Make the slaw: In a large bowl, toss sliced cabbage (1 lb), sliced radishes (16 oz), and optional sliced onion with half the lime-oil dressing. Taste and add a pinch more salt/pepper as needed. Set aside to crisp up while you cook.
  4. Sear the chicken (stove): Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil (pantry). Add chicken cutlets (1 lb) in a single layer and cook 3–4 minutes per side until browned and the thickest part reaches 165°F. Transfer to a plate; drizzle with 1–2 tbsp of the remaining lime dressing.
  5. Cook the zucchini (stove): In the same skillet, add 1 lb zucchini and a pinch of salt. Cook 6–8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until browned in spots and tender-crisp. Add 1 tbsp water if the pan gets too dry.
  6. Serve: Plate chicken with the sautéed zucchini and a big pile of cabbage–radish slaw. Finish with extra lime wedges if you want it punchier.

Cook time: 35 minutes

Estimated cost: $9–13

Health notes: Estimated per serving (1/2 recipe): ~520–620 kcal (depends on oil). Protein-forward and veg-heavy. Tip: keep slaw dressing light (extra lime/lemon, less oil) to reduce calories; add extra cabbage for more fiber and crunch.

Drink pairing: Wine: Go for high-acid whites that love lemon and herbs. A Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc brings citrus + green notes that echo the slaw, while an unoaked Italian Vermentino stays salty-mineral and keeps the dish feeling fresh. If you prefer red, a very light-bodied Cinsault served slightly chilled can work, but white is the slam dunk.
