Food City Friday: Weekend Meal Deal

Registered Dietitian Kirby Moir shows us how to prepare the weekend meal deal at Food City.Garlic Dijon Chicken Heat oven to 375 degrees. Add cast iron skillet to oven while it preheats. Once oven is preheated carefully add one tablespoon of oil, avocado oil works well since it has a higher smoke point. Pat dry chicken breast with paper towel and your favorite salt free or low sodium seasoning. -Food Club Garlic and Herb Salt Free Seasoning-Food Club Southwest Chipotle Salt Free Seasoning -Dan-O's Marinade -⅓ cup Food Club extra virgin olive oil-3 teaspoon Food Club Dijon Mustard-2 teaspoons honey -6 garlic cloves, minced-¾ teaspoon sweet paprika-½ teaspoon black pepper-pinch saltCombine all ingredients and pour on top of chicken, allow to marinade for at least 2 hours prior to cooking. Add seasoning chicken breast to hot pan and bake in oven for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken has reached internal temperature of 165 F. Herb Roasted VeggiesRoast veggies taste lightly crisp on the outside, and tender and caramelized on the inside.Oven roasting transforms vegetables that taste, especially for bitter vegetables (cauliflower and broccoli, I am looking at you), or that you may have only tasted boiled into crispy and flavorful side. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil - Foil conducts and distributes heat, making it able to withstand high temperatures from baking, broiling, roasting, or grilling. For anything above 400 degrees, use foil.Add 1 teaspoon of oil to foil lined baking sheet. Add Basket and Bushel veggies, add additional 1-2 teaspoons of oil and favorite herb seasoning blend. •Slice veggies evenly to ensure even cooking. If you don't mind some crunchier and crispier pieces, this is less important.•Group veggies by cooking time– root vegetables generally take longer than cruciferous ones (40 minutes vs 25 minutes). Group on separate pans so that they finish baking at the same time. •Avoid overcrowding the pan - arrange the veggies on enough baking sheets to allow them to sit in a single layer. Crowding can cause them to cook unevenly and steam rather than roast, which results in less caramelization •Season appropriately–if you plan to freeze them for adding to smoothies (carrots, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, etc.), then it is best to only season with salt.•The perfect temperature– 400 degrees Fahrenheit is the perfect temperature for most roasted vegetables. It allows for a crispy, perfectly browned exterior and a fork tender interior. But it will vary based on the types of veggies and oil used. If your veggies are not browning enough, try increasing the temperature. If they are browning before they are fully cooked, try reducing it.
