Lime-Oregano Chicken Cutlets with Sautéed Zucchini + Crunchy Cabbage-Radish Slaw

A weeknight Mediterranean-style plate that feels restaurant-y: juicy lemon-herb chicken cutlets with crisp-edged zucchini and a bright, crunchy cabbage–radish slaw. It’s light, zippy, and very Texas-March friendly (cabbage, radishes, citrus).

Ingredients

  • Simple Truth® Natural Boneless Skinless Fresh Chicken Breast Cutlets (1 lb) 1 lb $3.50 (sale)
  • Zucchini 1 lb, cut into 1/2-inch half-moons $1.19/lb
  • Green Cabbage 1 lb (about 1/2 medium), thinly sliced $0.79/lb
  • Kroger® Radishes (16 oz) 1 bag, thinly sliced $1.99
  • Fresh Limes 1 lime, juiced (plus wedges to serve if you like) $0.89 each
  • Jumbo Yellow Onions 1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional, for slaw) $0.89/lb

Instructions

  1. Prep: Pat dry 1 lb chicken breast cutlets; season both sides with 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper (use what you have). Zest/juice 1 lime into a small bowl; stir in 2 tbsp olive oil (pantry) and 1 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning).
  2. Prep: Slice 1 lb zucchini into 1/2-inch half-moons. Thinly slice about 1 lb green cabbage (about 1/2 a medium head). Thinly slice 1 bag (16 oz) radishes. If using onion, thinly slice 1 small onion.
  3. Make the slaw: In a large bowl, toss sliced cabbage (1 lb), sliced radishes (16 oz), and optional sliced onion with half the lime-oil dressing. Taste and add a pinch more salt/pepper as needed. Set aside to crisp up while you cook.
  4. Sear the chicken (stove): Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil (pantry). Add chicken cutlets (1 lb) in a single layer and cook 3–4 minutes per side until browned and the thickest part reaches 165°F. Transfer to a plate; drizzle with 1–2 tbsp of the remaining lime dressing.
  5. Cook the zucchini (stove): In the same skillet, add 1 lb zucchini and a pinch of salt. Cook 6–8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until browned in spots and tender-crisp. Add 1 tbsp water if the pan gets too dry.
  6. Serve: Plate chicken with the sautéed zucchini and a big pile of cabbage–radish slaw. Finish with extra lime wedges if you want it punchier.

Cook time: 35 minutes

Estimated cost: $9–13

Health notes: Estimated per serving (1/2 recipe): ~520–620 kcal (depends on oil). Protein-forward and veg-heavy. Tip: keep slaw dressing light (extra lime/lemon, less oil) to reduce calories; add extra cabbage for more fiber and crunch.

Drink pairing: Wine: Go for high-acid whites that love lemon and herbs. A Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc brings citrus + green notes that echo the slaw, while an unoaked Italian Vermentino stays salty-mineral and keeps the dish feeling fresh. If you prefer red, a very light-bodied Cinsault served slightly chilled can work, but white is the slam dunk.

Garlicky Lime Shrimp with Roasted Russet Potatoes + Asparagus

Texas-meets-coastal comfort: buttery, garlicky shrimp piled over fast-roasted potatoes with a side of bright asparagus. Everything comes together in under an hour, with minimal prep and big flavor.

Ingredients

  • Large Peeled and Deveined Shrimp Raw 31/40 (1 lb) 1 lb $6.99 (sale)
  • Kroger® Russet Potatoes (5 lb bag) About 1 1/4 lb potatoes (roughly 2 medium), cut into 1-inch chunks $2.49
  • Green Asparagus (1 lb) 1 lb, woody ends trimmed $3.49
  • Fresh Limes 1 lime, juiced (or serve as wedges) $0.89 each
  • Jumbo Yellow Onions 1/2 onion, thinly sliced (optional, for the shrimp pan) $0.89/lb

Instructions

  1. Prep (oven): Heat oven to 425°F. Cut about 1 1/4 lb russet potatoes into 1-inch chunks; toss on a sheet pan with 2 tbsp oil (pantry), 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Roast 25 minutes, tossing once at the 15-minute mark.
  2. Prep: Trim 1 lb asparagus (snap or cut off woody ends). Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp oil (pantry) and a pinch of salt.
  3. Roast the asparagus (oven): After potatoes have roasted 25 minutes, push potatoes to one side and add asparagus to the other side of the same sheet pan. Roast 10–12 minutes more, until asparagus is tender-crisp and potatoes are browned and done.
  4. Cook the shrimp (stove): While asparagus roasts, pat dry 1 lb shrimp. Heat a large skillet over medium-high with 1 tbsp oil (pantry). Add optional 1/2 onion, thinly sliced, and cook 2 minutes to soften. Add shrimp with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 2 minced garlic cloves (pantry). Cook 1–2 minutes per side until just pink and opaque.
  5. Finish: Turn off heat and swirl in 1–2 tbsp butter (pantry) plus juice of 1 lime. Taste and adjust salt/citrus.
  6. Serve: Divide roasted potatoes and asparagus between 2 plates and spoon the garlicky lime shrimp over the top (or alongside).

Cook time: 45 minutes

Estimated cost: $12–17

Health notes: Estimated per serving: ~650–780 kcal (potatoes + butter/oil drive this). Great lean protein from shrimp; asparagus adds folate and fiber. Tip: use more lemon/lime and less butter to lighten it up; keep potato portion to ~8 oz per person.

Drink pairing: Wine: Shrimp + garlic + a squeeze of citrus loves zesty whites. Albariño (Rías Baixas) is tailor-made—saline, lemony, and refreshing. A dry Provence rosé also works beautifully with roasted potatoes and asparagus. If you like bubbles, Brut sparkling (Cava) is a killer weeknight upgrade.

Smoky Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Warm Red Cabbage + Apple Sauté

Smoky-sweet, juicy pork tenderloin with caramelized edges, plus a quick sauté of cabbage and apples that hits that perfect savory-tart balance. Cozy enough for a cool night, still bright enough for early spring.

Ingredients

  • Kroger® Fresh Natural Pork Tenderloin (1 lb) 1 lb $2.49 (sale)
  • Red Cabbage 1 lb (about 1/2 head), thinly sliced $0.99/lb
  • Large Gala Apple - Each 1 large apple, sliced $1.19/lb
  • Jumbo Yellow Onions 1 small onion, thinly sliced $0.89/lb
  • Fresh Limes 1 lime, juiced (optional but great for brightness at the end) $0.89 each

Instructions

  1. Prep (oven): Heat oven to 425°F. Pat dry 1 lb pork tenderloin. Season all over with 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp smoked paprika (pantry).
  2. Sear (stove): Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high with 1 tbsp oil (pantry). Sear pork tenderloin 2–3 minutes per side until browned all over.
  3. Roast (oven): Transfer skillet to the oven and roast 12–18 minutes, until the thickest part reaches 145°F. Move pork to a cutting board and rest 5–10 minutes.
  4. Cook the cabbage-apple sauté (stove): While pork roasts/rests, heat a second skillet over medium with 1 tbsp oil (pantry). Add 1 small thinly sliced onion and cook 3 minutes. Add 1 lb thinly sliced red cabbage plus 1/2 tsp salt; cook 6–8 minutes, tossing, until wilted and glossy. Add 1 sliced large Gala apple and cook 3–4 minutes more until just softened but not mushy.
  5. Finish: Squeeze in juice of 1 lime (optional) and add a pinch of black pepper. Taste and adjust salt.
  6. Serve: Slice rested pork into medallions and serve over (or alongside) the warm cabbage-and-apple sauté.

Cook time: 55 minutes

Estimated cost: $10–14

Health notes: Estimated per serving: ~600–750 kcal (depends on oil). High-protein and loaded with fiber from cabbage + apples. Tip: keep added sugar out of the glaze (let the apple do the sweetening) and use a nonstick pan to reduce oil.

Drink pairing: Wine: Pork + sweet/tangy apple-cabbage loves medium-bodied, fruit-driven reds with good acid. Pinot Noir (Oregon or Burgundy) is classic. A Beaujolais (Gamay) is even better—bright, juicy, and chillable. Prefer white? A dry or off-dry Riesling works beautifully with the apple notes and keeps the dish lively.
