Ingredients

  • 365 by Whole Foods Market Ground Chicken, Step 2, 16 Ounce 1 pack $5.99
  • Organic Green Cabbage about 1/2 small head, 12 oz $1.10
  • Organic Carrot Bag, 16 OZ 2 medium carrots $1.79
  • Green Onion 3 $1.29
  • Organic Garlic, 3 CT 2 cloves $2.89
  • Lime 1 $0.59
  • Pantry: soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, neutral oil, red pepper flakes, cooked rice as needed pantry

Instructions

  1. Prep all ingredients first. Shred about 12 ounces Organic Green Cabbage ($1.10 sale) into thin strips. Peel and julienne 2 medium carrots from the Organic Carrot Bag ($1.79). Slice 3 Green Onions ($1.29). Mince 2 cloves Organic Garlic from the 3-count pack ($2.89).
  2. In a small bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar, 1 tablespoon water, and a squeeze of juice from 1 Lime ($0.59).
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 pack 365 by Whole Foods Market Ground Chicken, Step 2, 16 Ounce ($5.99). Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking it up well, until browned and cooked through.
  4. Add the minced garlic, half the sliced green onion, the shredded cabbage, and the julienned carrots. Stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes until the cabbage is wilted but still a little crisp.
  5. Pour in the soy-lime sauce and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until everything is glossy and well coated. Add red pepper flakes if you like heat.
  6. Serve over cooked rice from the pantry and top with the remaining sliced green onion plus an extra squeeze of lime.
  7. For wine, a lightly off-dry Riesling is excellent, or pour a light Pinot Noir if you're in the mood for red.

Cook time: 30 minutes

Estimated cost: $14-17

Health notes: About 500-580 calories per serving. Lean protein, lots of fiber-rich vegetables, and lighter than takeout. Add less sodium by using reduced-sodium soy sauce if you have it.

Drink pairing: Go for Riesling if you want a little fruit to play off the savory sauce, or Pinot Noir if you prefer a light red that can handle soy, ginger, and browned chicken.
