Instructions

1. Prep the oven to 425°F. Trim 1 pack boneless skinless chicken thighs ($6.49) if needed and pat dry. Cut 1/2 medium Organic Green Cabbage ($1.10 full price; use about half) into thick wedges or rough chunks, peel and cut about 8 ounces carrots from 1/2 bag Organic Carrot Bag ($1.69) into sticks, and slice 1 medium Yellow Onion ($1.49) into wedges. Mince 2 cloves Organic Garlic from the 3-count pack ($2.89).
2. Toss the cabbage, carrots, onion, and half the minced garlic with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika on a sheet pan. Spread out evenly.
3. Rub the chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the remaining garlic, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and another 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Nestle the chicken over the vegetables.
4. Roast the chicken and vegetables at 425°F for 28 to 32 minutes, stirring the vegetables once around the 18-minute mark, until the chicken is browned and cooked through to 165°F.
5. While the chicken roasts, make the relish: zest a little of 1 navel orange ($1.99), then peel and dice the orange. Chop 1/2 bunch Cilantro Bunch ($0.99) and mix with the diced orange, 1 tablespoon lime juice from 1 Lime ($0.59), a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon olive oil.
6. Rest the roasted chicken for 5 minutes. Spoon the cabbage, carrots, and onions onto plates, top with the chicken, and finish with the orange-cilantro relish and any pan juices.
7. Serve hot. Wine pairing: Sauvignon Blanc highlights the citrus and herbal finish, while Pinot Noir gives a soft red-fruit contrast without fighting the cabbage.
