Prep time: 55 minutes

Meal: Pan-Seared Center-Cut Pork Chops with Apple and Cabbage Sauté

Sale items used: Center-Cut Pork Chops, Honeycrisp Apples, Cabbage, Red or Sweet Onions
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 chops (assumed 1 lb total, about 1/2 lb each), 2 Honeycrisp apples (assumed 1 lb total), 1 lb cabbage (about half a small head), and 1 medium red onion (assumed about 1/2 lb).

Sale items used: Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Hothouse Peppers, Red or Sweet Onions
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 lb chicken breast (2 small breasts), 2 peppers (assumed 1 lb total), and 1/2 medium red onion. Cook 1 cup dry rice (makes about 3 cups cooked) from pantry stock while the skillet cooks. Cook the chicken in 2 batches so it browns rather than steams.
