Lemon-Rosemary Chicken with Roasted Carrots & Potatoes

A fast sheet-pan dinner that leans into early-March New England produce: sweet roasted carrots and potatoes, juicy chicken, and a bright lemon-rosemary finish that makes it feel far fancier than the effort involved.

Ingredients

  • Bell & Evans Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, 8 OZ 1 package $4.99
  • Organic Peeled Baby Rainbow Carrots, 12 OZ about 8 oz $2.49
  • Organic Russet Potato 1 large $1.89
  • Lemon 1 $0.99
  • Organic Rosemary, 0.75 OZ 1 to 2 teaspoons chopped $2.99
  • Organic Garlic, 3 CT 2 cloves $2.89
  • Organic Baby Arugula Salad, 5 OZ 2 cups, optional side salad portion $3.39

Instructions

  1. Prep the oven to 425Β°F. Line a sheet pan for easy cleanup. Halve 8 ounces Organic Peeled Baby Rainbow Carrots ($2.49 package, use about two-thirds) lengthwise if thick. Scrub and cut 1 large Organic Russet Potato ($1.89) into 3/4-inch cubes. Finely chop 1 to 2 teaspoons Organic Rosemary ($2.99) and mince 2 cloves Organic Garlic from the Organic Garlic, 3 CT ($2.89). Zest half of 1 Lemon ($0.99) and cut the lemon into wedges.
  2. Pat dry 1 package Bell & Evans Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, 8 OZ ($4.99). Toss the cubed potato and carrots with 1 tablespoon oil, half the chopped rosemary, half the minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread on the sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.
  3. Rub the chicken breast with 1 teaspoon oil, the remaining rosemary, the remaining garlic, the lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. After the vegetables have roasted 10 minutes, push them to the sides and add the chicken to the center of the pan.
  4. Roast the chicken, carrots, and potato for 15 to 18 minutes more, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are browned and tender. Squeeze 1 to 2 lemon wedges over the pan right after it comes out.
  5. If using the optional side salad, toss 2 cups Organic Baby Arugula Salad ($3.39 package) with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of oil, and a pinch of salt while the chicken rests for 5 minutes.
  6. Slice the chicken breast and serve with the roasted carrots and potato, plus the simple arugula salad if using. Drink pairing: Sauvignon Blanc is ideal; Pinot Noir also works if you want red.

Cook time: 35 minutes

Estimated cost: $14-18

Health notes: Approx. 520-620 calories per serving. High in protein, rich in vitamin A from carrots, and satisfying without being heavy. Leave potato skins on for extra fiber.

Drink pairing: A crisp Sauvignon Blanc is the best match for the lemon and rosemary. If you prefer red, go with a light Pinot Noir with fresh acidity and little oak.

  5. Taste and adjust with a little more lime juice from the remaining half Lime ($0.59) and black pepper. Scatter the green parts of the 3 Organic Green Onions over the top.
  6. Serve as a complete bowl-style meal for 2, or over pantry rice if you have it. Drink pairing: dry Riesling for freshness or Pinot Noir for a gentle red option.

Cook time: 30 minutes

Estimated cost: $12-16

Health notes: Approx. 430-540 calories per serving. Protein-rich and loaded with cruciferous vegetables. To keep sodium in check, season lightly and finish with citrus instead of extra salt.

Drink pairing: Try a dry Riesling for its acidity and slight fruit, or a Pinot Noir if you want a lighter red that can handle the earthy mushrooms and savory pork.

  5. Sprinkle the roasted salmon and squash with 2 tablespoons chopped Organic Dill Bunch ($2.49) and another squeeze of Lemon ($0.99).
  6. Serve the sockeye salmon with the roasted butternut squash and the lemony kale on the side. Drink pairing: lightly oaked Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc both complement the dish beautifully.

Health notes: Approx. 560-680 calories per serving. Rich in omega-3s, vitamin C, and fiber. Kale adds iron and folate, while butternut squash contributes beta-carotene.
