  • Organic baby bok choy 1 lb, halved lengthwise $2.99/lb
  • Kroger whole baby bella mushrooms 8 oz, sliced $3.19/8 oz
  • Organic Gold Jewel sweet potatoes 1 lb, cut into wedges $2.79/lb
  • Organic ginger root 1 tablespoon, grated $3.77/lb
  • Garlic 2 cloves, minced $0.69 each

  • Pantry: soy sauce, olive oil or neutral oil, honey or brown sugar, salt, black pepper as needed

Instructions

  1. Prep 1 lb boneless skinless fresh chicken thighs ($4.49/lb) by trimming excess fat and patting dry. Halve 1 lb organic baby bok choy ($2.99/lb) lengthwise. Slice 8 oz Kroger whole baby bella mushrooms ($3.19/8 oz). Cut 1 lb Organic Gold Jewel sweet potatoes ($2.79/lb) into wedges. Grate 1 tablespoon organic ginger root ($3.77/lb), mince 2 garlic cloves ($0.69 each), slice 2 green onions ($1.29 each), and juice 1 fresh organic lime ($1.29 each).
  2. Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the 1 lb sweet potato wedges with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper on a sheet pan. Roast 22 to 28 minutes, flipping once, until browned and tender.
  3. In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon grated organic ginger root, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar, and half the juice from 1 fresh organic lime. Coat the 1 lb boneless skinless fresh chicken thighs in the mixture.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated 1 lb boneless skinless fresh chicken thighs and cook 5 to 6 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate to rest.
  5. In the same skillet, add the sliced 8 oz baby bella mushrooms. Cook 4 minutes until they release moisture and begin to brown.
  6. Add the 1 lb halved organic baby bok choy to the mushrooms with 2 tablespoons water. Cover and steam 2 minutes, then uncover and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until crisp-tender. Season with a pinch of salt and the remaining juice from 1 fresh organic lime.
  7. Slice the cooked 1 lb chicken thighs if desired. Plate with the roasted 1 lb sweet potato wedges and the bok choy-mushroom sauté. Finish with the sliced 2 green onions over the top.

Cook time: 40 minutes

Estimated cost: $13-17

Health notes: About 560-680 calories per serving. Balanced with protein, leafy greens, and sweet potato for fiber and beta-carotene. Bok choy and mushrooms add volume and micronutrients without making the meal heavy.

Drink pairing: Try a dry Riesling or Pinot Noir. Dry Riesling handles the ginger and savory glaze beautifully, while Pinot Noir is soft enough for chicken and earthy mushrooms.
