Servings: 4

Nutrition: 640 Calories

Ingredients:

 

 

  • Yukon Gold Potatoes- 24 oz
  • Panko Bread Crumbs- 1 cup
  • Parmesan Cheese- 1/2 cup
  • Dried Rosemary- 1 tsp
  • Chicken Breasts- 24 oz
  • Eggs- 2
  • Green Beans- 12 oz
  • Honey- 3 oz
  • Dijon Mustard- 1/4 cup

 

 

1  PREHEAT AND PREP.     Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 450 degrees, distributing racks evenly. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges (like steak fries).

 

2  MAKE CRUST.     Spread panko on a baking sheet. Toast in oven until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl or shallow dish, then stir in Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

 

3 BAKE POTATOES.  Toss together potatoes, a large drizzle of olive oil, rosemary, and a large pinch of salt and pepper on baking sheet used for panko. Bake in oven until nicely browned and crisp, 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

 

4  COAT CHICKEN.  Cut chicken into 1-inch-wide strips. Season all over with salt and pepper. Crack eggs into a medium bowl and lightly beat. Working one piece at a time, dip chicken into eggs, letting excess drip off, then coat in crust mixture, pressing to adhere. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet.

 

5  BAKE GREEN BEANS AND CHICKEN.    Toss green beans on a third baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake green beans and chicken in oven until chicken is no longer pink in center and green beans are tender and slightly crisp at the edges, 12-15 minutes. TIP: Alternatively, you can cook the green beans with a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until tender, 4-5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.

 

6  MIX SAUCE AND SERVE.     Stir together honey and ¼ cup mustard (we sent more) in a small bowl. Divide chicken, potatoes, and green beans between plates. Serve with honey mustard sauce on the side for dipping.

The Ultimate Healthy Blueberry Crumble

¾ cup (75g) old-fashioned oats (gluten-free if necessary and measured like this)

¼ cup (30g) whole wheat flour or millet* flour (measured like this)

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 tbsp. (30mL) pure maple syrup, room temperature

1 ½ tbsp. (21g) unsalted butter, melted

6 cups (840g) blueberries

3 tbsp (24g) cornstarch

Preheat the oven to 350°F, and coat an 8”-square pan with nonstick cooking spray.

To prepare the topping, whisk together the oats, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour in the maple syrup and melted butter. Stir until fully incorporated.

To prepare the filling, toss the blueberries with the cornstarch in a large bowl until completely coated.

Transfer the filling to the prepared pan, and sprinkle evenly with the topping. (The topping tends to clump, so try to break it up into fairly small pieces.) Bake at 350°F for 45-55 minutes or until the juice is bubbling at the sides of the pan. Cool completely to room temperature; then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to allow the juices to fully thicken.

Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Pesto & Shrimp

Recipe By: Breana Lai

“Cut some carbs and use spiralized zucchini in place of noodles in this zesty pesto pasta dish recipe. Top with Cajun-seasoned shrimp to complete this quick and easy dinner.”

Ingredients:

5-6 medium zucchini (2¼-2½ pounds total), trimmed

¾ teaspoon salt, divided

1 ripe avocado

1 cup packed fresh basil leaves

¼ cup unsalted shelled pistachios

2 tablespoons lemon juice

 

¼ teaspoon ground pepper

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil plus 2 tablespoons, divided

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound raw shrimp (21-25 count), peeled and deveined, tails left on if desired

1-2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning

Directions

1Using a spiral vegetable slicer or a vegetable peeler, cut zucchini lengthwise into long, thin strands or strips. Stop when you reach the seeds in the middle (seeds make the noodles fall apart). Place the zucchini “noodles” in a colander and toss with ½ teaspoon salt. Let drain for 15 to 30 minutes, then gently squeeze to remove any excess water.

  1. Wash and dry all produce. Preheat broiler to high or oven to 500 degrees. Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion (use the other half as you like). Strip thyme leaves from stems; discard stems.

 

  1. Melt 1 TBSP butter in a large pan over medium heat (use an ovenproof pan if you have one). Add thyme and onion. Cook until softened, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in stock concentrate and 1½ cups water and bring to a simmer.

 

  1. Once stock mixture is simmering, add ravioli to pan. Cover and cook 4 minutes. Uncover and increase heat to high. Continue cooking, spooning stock over ravioli, until ravioli are tender and stock has reduced, 5-6 minutes. Shake pan occasionally to keep ravioli from sticking.

 

  1. Combine panko, Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.

 

  1. Remove pan from heat. Carefully stir sour cream and spinach into pan until thoroughly combined and spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper. (TIP: Add a splash of water if sauce seems very thick.) If your pan is not ovenproof, transfer mixture to a baking dish at this point.

  • Scallions- 4
  • Ginger- 4
  • Ground Pork- 20 oz
  • Panko Breadcrumbs- 1/2 cup
  • Sriracha- 6 tsp
  • Soy Sauce- 2 tbsp

Ingredients- COCKTAIL:

Servings: 10 People

 

  • Grapefruit- 4

 

APPETIZER

1  PREP AND MAKE FILLING.     Wash and dry all produce. Trim, then mince scallions. Peel 1 thumb ginger, then grate until you have 1 TBSP (save remainder for cocktail). Place pork, panko, scallions, grated ginger, 1 tsp sriracha (we sent more), soy sauce, sesame oil, and ½ tsp kosher salt in a medium bowl. Season with pepper. Mix to combine. Lightly moisten a few paper towels. Fill a small bowl with water.

 

2  ASSEMBLE WONTONS.     Place 6 wonton wrappers on a dry surface. Place 1 tsp filling in center of each. Wet your fingers with water in bowl, then dab edges of wrappers to moisten. Fold in corners of wrappers around filling, then press together to seal. Set aside on a baking sheet and cover with moist paper towels. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling (you may have some wrappers left over).

 

3 FRY WONTONS.        Heat a 2-inch layer of oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, carefully add wontons to oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, 3-4 minutes. (TIP: The oil should bubble when you add the wontons. If it doesn’t, heat it up more.) Remove wontons from oil with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper-towel-lined tray.

 

4  MAKE SAUCE AND SERVE.       Halve lime. Stir together jam, remaining sriracha (to taste), 2 TBSP water, and a squeeze or two of lime in another small bowl. (TIP: Make sure to break up any larger lumps of jam.) Arrange wontons on a serving tray and serve with sauce for dipping.

COCKTAIL

1  MAKE SYRUP.     Thinly slice remaining 1 thumb ginger, then place in a small pot along with ½ cup water and ½ cup sugar. Give it a stir, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once sugar dissolves, remove from heat and set aside to cool, then strain, removing ginger slices. TIP: Save the ginger slices—ginger is a natural remedy for an upset stomach (and may come in handy tomorrow).

 

2  JUICE FRUIT AND SERVE.     Halve grapefruits, then cut a thin round from one half. Cut round into 6 wedges and make a small slit at pointed end of each. Squeeze juice from remaining grapefruit halves into a measuring cup. Fill 4 or 5 champagne flutes with ¼ cup juice and 2 TBSP syrup each. Top with sparkling wine and garnish rims with grapefruit wedges.
