Ginger Chicken Spring Market Stir-Fry

A fast, spring-forward stir-fry that leans hard into Washington-season produce: sweet cabbage, asparagus, mushrooms, and bok choy tossed with tender chicken in a gingery pan sauce. It’s lively, crunchy, and very weeknight-friendly.

Ingredients

  • Simple Truth® Natural Boneless Skinless Fresh Chicken Breast Family Pack BIG DEAL! 1 lb $5.49/lb
  • Green Cabbage 1 lb $0.59/lb
  • Green Asparagus 1 lb $1.99/lb
  • Kroger® Whole Baby Bella Mushrooms 8 oz $3.69
  • Bok Choy 1 lb $2.49/lb
  • Jumbo Yellow Onions 1 lb $1.49/lb
  • Garlic 1 bulb $1.50 each
  • Ginger Root 1 small knob $4.99/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic® Fat Free Free Range Chicken Broth 32 oz $1.79

Instructions

  1. Prep 1 lb Simple Truth® Natural Boneless Skinless Fresh Chicken Breast Family Pack BIG DEAL! ($5.49/lb) by slicing it thinly. Thinly slice 1/2 lb Green Cabbage (about half a small head, from $0.59/lb), trim and cut 1/2 lb Green Asparagus into 2-inch pieces (from $1.99/lb), slice 4 oz Kroger® Whole Baby Bella Mushrooms ($3.69/8 oz) if not already sliced, chop 1/2 lb Bok Choy (from $2.49/lb), thinly slice 1/2 lb Jumbo Yellow Onion (from $1.49/lb), mince 3 cloves Garlic (from 1 bulb at $1.50 each), and grate 1 tablespoon Ginger Root (from $4.99/lb).
  2. In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup Simple Truth Organic® Fat Free Free Range Chicken Broth ($1.79/32 oz) with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar or honey, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch if you have it in the pantry for a glossier sauce.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sliced 1 lb chicken breast and cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Add another small drizzle of oil to the same skillet. Cook the 1/2 lb sliced Jumbo Yellow Onion, 3 minced Garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon grated Ginger Root for 1 minute.
  5. Add the 1/2 lb Green Cabbage and 1/2 lb Green Asparagus. Stir-fry 3 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften and the asparagus turns bright green.
  6. Add the 4 oz sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms and 1/2 lb chopped Bok Choy. Stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes more until the mushrooms soften and the bok choy wilts slightly but still looks fresh.
  7. Return the cooked 1 lb chicken to the pan. Pour in the broth mixture and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until everything is glossy and lightly sauced. Taste and add black pepper or a squeeze of lemon if you like.
  8. Serve as is for a lighter dinner, or spoon over cooked rice if you have pantry rice on hand.

Cook time: 35 minutes

Estimated cost: $11-15

Health notes: About 450-520 calories per serving. High in protein, rich in vitamin C and K from cabbage, asparagus, and bok choy, with plenty of fiber from the vegetables. Keep sodium moderate by seasoning lightly if using broth and pantry soy sauce.

Drink pairing: A dry Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc works beautifully here. Riesling highlights the ginger and sweet cabbage notes, while Sauvignon Blanc matches the green, fresh snap of asparagus and bok choy.

Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Sweet Potatoes & Warm Apple-Cabbage Skillet

This oven-roasted pork dinner feels rustic and fresh at once: juicy tenderloin, caramelized sweet potatoes, and a warm skillet of apples, cabbage, and onions that hits that perfect sweet-savory balance for March.

Ingredients

  • Kroger® Fresh Natural Pork Tenderloin 1 lb $3.99/lb
  • Sweet Potato 1 lb $2.49/lb
  • Green Cabbage 1 lb $0.59/lb
  • Large Granny Smith Apple - Each 1 each $1.99
  • Jumbo Yellow Onions 1 lb $1.49/lb
  • Garlic 1 bulb $1.50 each
  • Fresh Organic Lemon - Each 1 each $1.69
  • Parsley 1 bunch $1.69

Instructions

  1. Prep the oven to 425°F. Peel and cut 1 lb Sweet Potato ($2.49/lb) into 3/4-inch cubes. Cut 1/2 lb Green Cabbage (from $0.59/lb) into thin ribbons. Thinly slice 1/2 lb Jumbo Yellow Onion (from $1.49/lb). Core and slice 1 Large Granny Smith Apple - Each ($1.99). Mince 2 cloves Garlic (from 1 bulb at $1.50 each). Pat dry 1 lb Kroger® Fresh Natural Pork Tenderloin ($3.99/lb). Chop 1 tablespoon Parsley (from $1.69/bunch).
  2. Toss the 1 lb cubed Sweet Potato with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper on a sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
  3. While the sweet potato starts, rub the 1 lb pork tenderloin with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the minced 2 Garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice from 1 Fresh Organic Lemon - Each ($1.69), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
  4. Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the sheet pan after their first 15 minutes. Add the seasoned 1 lb pork tenderloin to the open side and roast 18 to 22 minutes more, until the pork reaches 145°F and the sweet potatoes are tender and browned.
  5. While the pork roasts, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 1/2 lb sliced Jumbo Yellow Onion and cook 4 minutes until softened.
  6. Add the 1/2 lb shredded Green Cabbage and 1 sliced Granny Smith apple. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until the cabbage is tender and the apple softens but still keeps some shape. Season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and another 1 teaspoon lemon juice if desired.
  7. Rest the cooked 1 lb pork tenderloin for 5 minutes, then slice into medallions. Scatter the 1 tablespoon chopped Parsley over the pork and sweet potatoes.
  8. Serve the sliced pork with the roasted 1 lb Sweet Potato and the warm apple-cabbage skillet on the side.

Cook time: 45 minutes

Estimated cost: $12-16

Health notes: About 500-620 calories per serving. Lean pork tenderloin keeps protein high without too much saturated fat, and the cabbage plus sweet potato provide fiber, beta carotene, and vitamin C.

Drink pairing: Pinot Noir is the best all-around match, offering enough fruit for the apples and enough earthiness for the roasted pork. A dry Rosé also works nicely if you want something lighter and brighter.

Pan-Seared Rockfish with Parsley Potatoes & Radish-Cucumber Crunch

A bright, coastal-feeling fish dinner with crisp-edged rockfish, golden potatoes, and a punchy radish-cucumber salad. It uses seasonal Washington produce and keeps the flavors clean, crunchy, and very different from the recent salmon and shrimp meals.

Ingredients

  • Rockfish Fillet (Wild Caught Fresh) 1 lb $6.99/lb
  • Yukon Gold Potatoes 1 lb $1.49/lb
  • Green Top Red Radishes 1 bunch $1.99
  • Cucumber 1 ct $0.99
  • Fresh Organic Lemon - Each 1 each $1.69
  • Organic Parsley 1 bunch $1.99
  • Garlic 1 bulb $1.50 each
  • Jumbo Yellow Onions 1/2 lb $1.49/lb

Instructions

  1. Prep the oven to 450°F. Cut 1 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes ($1.49/lb) into small wedges. Thinly slice 1/2 lb Jumbo Yellow Onion (from $1.49/lb). Thinly slice 1 bunch Green Top Red Radishes ($1.99) and 1 Cucumber ($0.99). Mince 2 cloves Garlic (from 1 bulb at $1.50 each). Chop 2 tablespoons Organic Parsley ($1.99/bunch). Pat dry 1 lb Rockfish Fillet (Wild Caught Fresh) ($6.99/lb).
  2. Toss the 1 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes and 1/2 lb sliced Jumbo Yellow Onion with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper on a sheet pan. Roast at 450°F for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping once, until browned and tender.
  3. While the potatoes roast, make the salad: combine the sliced 1 bunch Green Top Red Radishes, 1 sliced Cucumber, 1 tablespoon lemon juice from 1 Fresh Organic Lemon - Each ($1.69), 1 tablespoon chopped Organic Parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit so the radishes soften slightly.
  4. Season the 1 lb Rockfish Fillet with the minced 2 Garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil, then cook the 1 lb seasoned Rockfish Fillet for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until lightly browned and just flaky. If the fillet is large, cut it into 2 portions before cooking.
  6. Toss the roasted potatoes and onions with the remaining 1 tablespoon chopped Organic Parsley and a small squeeze of lemon juice.
  7. Serve the pan-seared rockfish with the parsley potatoes and the crisp radish-cucumber salad.

Cook time: 30 minutes

Estimated cost: $14-18

Health notes: About 430-520 calories per serving. Lean, high-protein fish with a good amount of potassium from potatoes and hydrating, fiber-rich vegetables in the salad. A smart lighter dinner that still feels satisfying.

Drink pairing: Albariño is terrific with the rockfish and lemony salad, bringing saline freshness and citrus lift. Pinot Gris is another easy, crowd-pleasing option with enough body for the potatoes and enough zip for the radish.
