In celebration of September’s National Family Meals Month™, ShopRite launched a campaign aimed at bringing families together to the dinner table – one healthy meal at a time.

To kick off the celebration, ShopRite awarded the winner of its Family Meals Month Recipe Contest, which was held earlier this year and encouraged customers to submit their favorite healthy family meal recipes, at its Ramsey store on Monday, August 27.

Hawthorne resident Erin Fallon, who shops at the Ramsey store, is the grand prize winner of the contest and was onsite to receive her prize of a $2,500 gift card.

Here’s Erin’s winning “Ground Chicken Lettuce Wraps” recipe for you to try at home.

Pickled Slaw Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice wine vinegar
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ¼ teaspoon celery seed
• ¼ head red cabbage, shredded
• 1 cucumber, thinly sliced

Ground Chicken Ingredients:

• 1 large carrot, shredded
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon honey
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro
• 1 head Boston lettuce

Pickled Slaw Directions:

1. Combine vinegar, sugar and honey in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix and remove from heat. Add salt, pepper and celery seed and add vegetables to hot liquid, mix well. Place in large resealable plastic bag and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Ground Chicken Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 1 minute. Add ground chicken, salt, pepper, allspice and ginger, soy sauce and honey, cooking over medium heat. When most of the liquid evaporates or it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, it’s done. Remove from heat and mix in cilantro.
