Instructions
- Prep the oven to 425°F. Pat dry 1 package Pine Manor Organic Bone-in Chicken Thighs ($6.99), about 1.5 pounds, and place them on a sheet pan or large roasting pan.
- Prep 12 ounces Organic Red Potato ($2.49), halved; 3 medium Organic Loose Carrots ($1.49), cut into sticks; 1/2 small head Organic Green Cabbage ($1.10), cut into wedges; and 1/2 Sweet Onion ($1.43), sliced. Spread the vegetables around the chicken.
- In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, zest and juice of 1 Organic Lemon from the bag ($5.54), 2 minced cloves Organic Garlic, 3 CT ($2.89), 1 teaspoon chopped Organic Rosemary ($2.99), 1 teaspoon chopped Organic Thyme ($2.99), 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Rub the lemon-herb mixture all over the 1.5 pounds chicken thighs and toss the potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and onion with any remaining marinade so everything is lightly coated.
- Roast at 425°F for 35 to 40 minutes, turning the vegetables once halfway through, until the chicken reaches 175°F at the thigh and the vegetables are tender and browned at the edges.
- Rest the chicken and vegetables for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped Italian Parsley Bunch ($1.29) and serve with pan juices spooned over the top.
- Pour a glass of Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir if desired; Sauvignon Blanc is especially good with the lemon, herbs, and roasted cabbage.
Cook time: 45 minutes
Estimated cost: $14-18
Health notes: About 650-750 calories per serving. High in protein, rich in vitamin C from lemon and cabbage, and provides fiber from carrots and potatoes. Leave the chicken skin off after roasting if you want to reduce saturated fat.
Drink pairing: A crisp Sauvignon Blanc is the best match for the lemon and herbs, while an easygoing Pinot Noir also works nicely if you prefer red. The wine’s bright acidity keeps the roasted chicken lively and cuts through the savory pan juices.
