Can you believe we are already half way through January? As the new year unfolds, January brings with it a sense of renewal and the opportunity for a fresh start. You may be watching what you eat and watching what you spend. We understand, and we are here to help! At Price Chopper and Market 32, we are excited to propose week three of our wallet-stretching meal options. The line up we have created was with the intention of feeding four people for under $3.50 per person! Let’s dive into this week’s guide.

For a quicker look at the items we chose, check them out below:

1 Market 32 Fresh Whole Chicken

1 Bag Market 32 Baby Carrots

1 Bag Market 32 Russet Potatoes

1 Bag Organic Celery Hearts

1 Bag PICS Frozen Brussels Sprouts

1 Bag PICS Frozen Veggies

2 Loose Onions

1 Bag Pepperidge Farm Buns

1 Bottle Kraft BBQ Sauce

Option 1: Chicken, Potatoes, & Brussels Sprouts

1 Market 32 Fresh Whole Chicken

1 Bag Market 32 Baby Carrots

1 Bag Market 32 Russet Potatoes

1 Bag Organic Celery Hearts

1 Bag PICS Frozen Brussels Sprouts

1 Bag PICS Frozen Veggies

2 Loose Onions

This meal is simple, yet delicious. Bake the chicken by following the steps below. With an abundance of vegetables at your disposal, let your creativity shine! Take the potatoes as an example – you can opt for mashing, baking, roasting, or slicing them to create oven-baked or air-fried French fries. For a more straightforward approach, consider tossing the potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and Brussels sprouts directly into the pan with the chicken. The possibilities are endless with this combo!

To cook chicken and vegetables:

1 whole chicken, neck and giblets removed.

1 large roasting pan – 

Hack: consider lining with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

Wash baby carrots and 3-5 stalks of celery per chicken. Chop celery into 2-3 inch pieces. Chop  onions into chunks. Spray roasting pan or foil with oil, and scatter vegetables in the bottom. 

Place chicken on top of the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, herb blends to taste.

Roast until the food thermometer registers 165 degrees F. 

Let chicken rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Option 2: Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with Veggies

1 Market 32 Fresh Whole Chicken

1 Bag PICS Frozen Veggies

1 Bag Pepperidge Farm Buns

1 Bottle Kraft BBQ Sauce

Let’s take a twist on the classic pulled pork sandwich and use pulled chicken instead! Shred the leftover chicken from the first option and mix it with Kraft BBQ sauce (see instructions below). Microwave your PICS Frozen Veggies of choice, and get creative with your leftover potatoes by making fries or chips on the side. Simple, right? Two quick, easy, and cost-effective meals for this week right at your fingertips.

To shred:

While the chicken is still warm, remove skin and remove meat from bones by hand. Place in a bowl and use a hand mixer to shred; alternately, you can shred using two large, sturdy forks. 

Hack – Roast 2 chickens at once – save money and time with this roasted chicken hack – cook once, enjoy multiple meals! No change in cooking time when there are 2 chickens in the oven. 

Hack – save the chicken bones, celery tops and onion skin and make broth or chicken soup!

National Taco Day!

Did you know that tacos actually have their own day? Today, October 4th just happens to be that day! Here at Price Chopper and Market 32, we have everything you need to get creative for your Taco Tuesday tonight. The beauty is, there is no right or wrong way to make your taco, and they can be filled with just about anything and everything! First, let’s explore some interesting facts about tacos.

The origin of the taco dates back as early as the 18th century, but the taco itself was not introduced in the United States until 1905. During the 18th century, tacos in Mexico were known to be a food of the working class which included miners. Tacos were known as “tacos de minero” which means “miner’s taco.”

The tacos that were consumed during this time were very different from what we know today. Tacos were originally made with a spicy filling, not beef or chicken that is commonly used today. Interestingly enough, the hard taco shell we know and love did not become popular in the United States until the 1940s. Before then, a soft flour tortilla was used. Today, there are so many different combinations to create tacos. While some people prefer beef or chicken, others may choose fish or no meat source at all. Check out some of our delicious taco recipes below to celebrate this year’s National Taco Day!

Foil-Pack Avocado Ranch Chicken Tacos: Loaded with fresh ingredients, these tacos are tasty and filling. Be sure to grab Market 32 Boneless & Skinless Chicken Breast at your nearest location. 

Grilled Fish Tacos with Cauliflower Tortilla: Not feeling a traditional taco shell? Don’t worry, we have you covered! Try these tacos with a delicious cauliflower tortilla.

Chipotle Ground Beef Street Tacos: Beef, cheese, salsa and more! Make sure to grab your choice of Market 32 ground beef for these tacos. 

Black Bean, Quinoa, & Grilled Veggie Tacos: No meat? No problem! These tacos are bursting with flavor and easy to make!

Happy National Taco Day!
