Craving fall flavors? Create seasonal meals that your family will devour with a couple secret shortcuts from Heinen’s Meat and Prepared Foods Departments!

When we say “a couple secret shortcuts” we mean it because these meals require only two ingredients including Heinen’s fresh, ready-to-cook proteins and chef-inspired ready-to-cook side dishes.

The first meal is a warm and cozy spin on a classic chicken dinner! It stars Heinen’s Adams Reserve Stuffed Chicken Breast, which features a CARE Certified chicken breast stuffed with a savory cheese filling and wrapped in Heinen’s CARE Certified bacon, which crisps perfectly in the oven. Paired with the herby, garlic flavor of the roasted potatoes from Heinen’s Prepared Foods Department, this meal will keep bellies warm and satisfied as the weather turns cool.

The second meal is offers some of the most delicious flavors of Fall thanks to Heinen’s Maple Brined Bone-In Pork Chops. Inherently tender and flavorful as a result of Heinen’s sourcing its CARE Certified pork from Heritage Breed Duroc animals, these pork chops are expertly brined by Heinen’s butchers which makes each bite that much more delicious. Paired with Heinen’s Brussels Sprouts with Hazelnuts and Cranberries, a seasonal side dish in the Prepared Foods Department, this dish offers major eye appeal and remarkable Fall flavor for virtually no effort.
