600 Calories Or Less
All of these delicious recipes come in at 600 calories or less per serving, ideal for those who choose to monitor their caloric intake, without sacrificing flavor. The US Food & Drug Administration recommends a 2000 calorie daily intake for the general population. The 600 calorie cap equates to 30% of total 2000 calories per day based on 3 meals per day with 200 calories remaining for snack or beverage.
Carb Conscious
Our Carb Conscious recipes provide a balanced approach to carbohydrate consumption by replacing refined carbohydrates from sources like white flour, rice, and cane sugar with high-fiber foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Our Carb Conscious recipes have 42g or less of net carbohydrates (total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber) per serving, a 25% reduction in net carbs compared to the average Blue Apron recipe served in 2019. Due to the natural variation in size of and contribution of produce in our recipes, some recipes can be badged as Carb Conscious at 45g or less net carbs per serving.
Mediterranean Diet
Our Mediterranean recipes are inspired by the Mediterranean Diet, a healthy eating plan recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans published jointly every five years by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS). This eating plan highlights the flavors and cooking styles from countries along the Mediterranean Sea, including those in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. These recipes showcase a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, as well as lean proteins and moderate portions of dairy.
Plant-Forward
Our Plant-Forward recipes are designed by our chefs to help support a flexible diet that emphasizes plant-based foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and other legumes like lentils and soy foods, and includes occasional, moderate portions of meat, poultry, fish, and seafood.

Our diabetes friendly offering allows you to enjoy wholesome options while adhering to the guidelines set forth by the nutrition experts at our partner at the American Diabetes Association. A recipe with this badge features non-starchy, fibrous vegetables with a limit on calories, total carbohydrates, saturated fat, added sugar and sodium. For those chefs following ADA guidelines, it is recommended that no additional salt be added to this recipe when prepared and for chefs to skip all salting steps of a recipe.

Cipollini onions are a famously sweet variety with a distinctive broad shape. In a nod to a traditional Italian side dish, we’re preparing them “agrodolce” style—cooking them with a splash of balsamic vinegar, whose fruity tang balances their flavor. Tossed with fregola sarda pasta, the onions perfectly complement our chicken, which we’re serving in a bright sauce of golden raisins and kumquats—a unique citrus fruit whose thin, edible peel carries intense flavor.

instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients:
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling on high. Peel the onions; cut into bite-sized wedges. Pick the parsley leaves off the stems; discard the stems and roughly chop half the leaves, keeping the remaining leaves whole. Peel and finely chop the shallot. Thinly slice the kumquats into rounds; remove and discard the seeds. Roughly chop the almonds.
2
Cook the pasta:
Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
3
Cook the onions & finish the pasta:
While the pasta cooks, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened. Add the vinegar (be careful, as the vinegar may splatter) and cook, stirring occasionally, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined. Transfer to the pot of cooked pasta. Add the chopped parsley; drizzle with olive oil and stir to thoroughly combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside in a warm place. Rinse and wipe out the pan.
4
Cook the chicken:
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Working in batches, add the seasoned chicken in a single, even layer. Cook, turning occasionally, 7 to 9 minutes per batch, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate. Set aside in a warm place.
5
Make the sauce:
Add the raisins and shallot to the pan of reserved fond; season with salt and pepper. (If the pan seems dry, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.) Cook on medium-high, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until softened and fragrant. Add the kumquats and ¼ cup of water. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the liquid is thickened and saucy. Turn off the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Plate your dish:
Divide the finished pasta and cooked chicken between 4 dishes. Top with the sauce. Garnish with the almonds and whole parsley leaves. Enjoy!
