Lemon-Herb Roasted Chicken Thighs with Spring Potatoes and Cabbage

A spring-ready sheet-pan supper with juicy lemon-herb chicken thighs, roasted Kentucky-season vegetables, and plenty of golden edges. It leans on March-friendly produce like carrots, cabbage, potatoes, and citrus for maximum freshness and value.

Ingredients

  • Pine Manor Organic Bone-in Chicken Thighs 1 package, about 1.5 lb $6.99
  • Organic Red Potato 12 oz, halved $2.49
  • Organic Loose Carrots 3 medium, cut into sticks $1.49
  • Organic Green Cabbage 1/2 small head, cut into wedges $1.10
  • Organic Lemon Bag 1 lemon, zested and juiced $5.54
  • Organic Garlic, 3 CT 2 cloves, minced $2.89
  • Organic Rosemary 1 teaspoon chopped $2.99
  • Organic Thyme 1 teaspoon chopped $2.99
  • Sweet Onion 1/2 onion, sliced $1.43
  • Italian Parsley Bunch 2 tablespoons chopped $1.29
  • Pantry: olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper as needed

Instructions

  1. Prep the oven to 425Β°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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Roast at 425Β°F for 35 to 40 minutes, turning the vegetables once halfway through, until the chicken reaches 175Β°F at the thigh and the vegetables are tender and browned at the edges.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

Ginger-Lime Shrimp Stir-Fry with Cabbage and Bok Choy

Fast, colorful, and full of bold flavor, this stove-top shrimp stir-fry brings together tender shrimp, crunchy cabbage, carrots, bok choy, and peppers in a gingery lime finish. It’s a smart March pick that uses sturdy seasonal vegetables and keeps dinner firmly under the hour.

Ingredients

  • Wild 51/60 Key West Shrimp, 12 OZ 1 package $9.99
  • Organic Green Cabbage 3 cups thinly sliced $1.10
  • Organic Loose Carrots 2 medium, julienned $1.49
  • Organic Bok Choy 2 small heads, chopped $2.99
  • Green Bell Pepper 1, thinly sliced $1.99
  • Organic Green Onion 3, sliced $1.89
  • Organic Garlic, 3 CT 2 cloves, minced $2.89
  • Organic Ginger Puree 1 tablespoon $3.99
  • Lime 1 $0.69
  • Cilantro Bunch 2 tablespoons chopped $0.99
  • Pantry: oil, soy sauce, honey or sugar, red pepper flakes as needed

Instructions

  1. Prep 1 package Wild 51/60 Key West Shrimp, 12 OZ ($9.99) by thawing if needed and patting dry. Prep 3 cups thinly sliced Organic Green Cabbage ($1.10), 2 medium Organic Loose Carrots ($1.49) julienned, 2 small heads Organic Bok Choy ($2.99) chopped, 1 Green Bell Pepper ($1.99) thinly sliced, and 3 Organic Green Onion ($1.89) sliced.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Organic Ginger Puree ($3.99), 2 minced cloves Organic Garlic, 3 CT ($2.89), juice of 1 Lime ($0.69), 1 teaspoon honey or sugar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the 12-ounce shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until just pink. Transfer to a plate so they do not overcook.
  4. Add another drizzle of oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the sliced cabbage, julienned carrots, chopped bok choy, sliced bell pepper, and half the sliced green onions for 4 to 6 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Return the cooked shrimp to the pan. Pour in the ginger-lime sauce and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until the shrimp are glazed and the vegetables are coated.
  6. Finish with the remaining green onions and 2 tablespoons chopped Cilantro Bunch ($0.99). Serve as is or over cooked rice if you have it in the pantry.
  7. If you want wine, pour a Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc; either one will complement the ginger, lime, and natural sweetness of the shrimp.

Cook time: 30 minutes

Estimated cost: $13-17

Health notes: About 500-600 calories per serving. Lean protein from shrimp, plenty of fiber-rich vegetables, and lighter overall than takeout. Serve over a modest portion of rice or enjoy on its own for a lower-carb meal.

Drink pairing: Riesling is a natural fit for the sweet-savory shrimp and limey sauce, while Sauvignon Blanc gives a sharper citrus-herbal contrast. Both handle ginger, cabbage, and pepper beautifully.

Skillet Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Beets, Carrots, and Apple-Onion Pan Sauce

This skillet-to-oven pork tenderloin dinner feels a little dressy but cooks like a weeknight meal. Sweet roasted carrots and beets bring out the pork’s savoriness, while a quick apple-onion pan finish makes it taste like early spring in Kentucky.

Ingredients

  • Pork Loin Tenderloin 1 package, about 1 to 1.25 lb $13.99
  • Organic Loose Red Beet 2 medium, peeled and cut into wedges $2.99
  • Organic Loose Carrots 3 medium, cut into sticks $1.49
  • Sweet Onion 1, sliced $1.43
  • Organic Gala Apples 1, sliced $2.49
  • Organic Garlic, 3 CT 2 cloves, minced $2.89
  • Organic Thyme 1 teaspoon chopped $2.99
  • Organic Apple Cider Vinegar or pantry vinegar 1 tablespoon
  • Pantry: olive oil, salt, black pepper, butter optional as needed

Instructions

  1. Prep the oven to 425Β°F. Peel and cut 2 medium Organic Loose Red Beet ($2.99) into wedges and cut 3 medium Organic Loose Carrots ($1.49) into sticks. Toss the beets and carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper on a sheet pan.
  2. Roast the beets and carrots at 425Β°F for 25 minutes while you cook the pork.
  3. Pat dry 1 package Pork Loin Tenderloin ($13.99), about 1 to 1.25 pounds. Season it with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon chopped Organic Thyme ($2.99), 2 minced cloves Organic Garlic, 3 CT ($2.89), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned pork tenderloin for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned all over.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it reaches 145Β°F in the center. Rest the pork on a cutting board for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
  6. While the pork rests, place the skillet back over medium heat. Add 1 sliced Sweet Onion ($1.43) and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 sliced Organic Gala Apple ($2.49) and cook 2 minutes more. Stir in 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or pantry vinegar and 1 tablespoon water, scraping up the browned bits. Swirl in 1 teaspoon butter if you like.
  7. Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with the roasted beets and carrots and spoon the apple-onion mixture over the top.
  8. For wine, Pinot Noir is the strongest pairing, though Riesling also works well with the apple, onion, and lightly sweet roasted vegetables.

Cook time: 50 minutes

Estimated cost: $15-19

Health notes: About 600-700 calories per serving. Pork tenderloin is a lean cut, and the carrots, beets, and apple add fiber and antioxidants. Keep the oil moderate and pair with a simple green salad if you want an even lighter plate.

Drink pairing: Pinot Noir is the most versatile choice here, echoing the earthiness of the beets without overwhelming the pork. An off-dry Riesling is also excellent if you want to highlight the apple and onion sweetness.
