5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Chicken Breast with Russet Potatoes
Description: Two boneless chicken breasts are seasoned and seared in a hot skillet until golden and juicy, served alongside crispy oven-roasted russet potato wedges for a satisfying weeknight dinner. This simple, hearty meal comes together quickly and is completely dairy-free using olive oil in place of butter.
Sale items used: Sanderson Farms Boneless Chicken Breast ($1.49/lb with digital coupon), Basket & Bushel Russet Potatoes 5 lb bag ($2.49 each)
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Plan on 1 lb of chicken breast for 2 people (about 0.5 lb per person); use 2 medium potatoes from the 5 lb bag, saving the rest for Thursday. Total cook time is about 40 minutes so no make-ahead needed.

Tuesday
Meal: Smithfield Pork Tenderloin with Skillet Classics and Italian Bread
Description: A Smithfield pork tenderloin is seasoned with garlic and herbs, then roasted until tender and sliced for two generous servings alongside a quick Skillet Classics side dish. Slices of Italian bread round out the plate for a filling and flavorful dairy-free dinner.
Sale items used: Smithfield Pork Filets or Tenderloin ($5.00 each), Skillet Classics ($1.00 each), Italian Bread ($2.99 each)
Prep time: 45 minutes
Serving note: One Smithfield tenderloin (smallest size, approximately 13.4 oz) serves 2 people comfortably; use one box of Skillet Classics and slice off about one-third of the Italian bread loaf for two servings, saving the rest. Roasting takes about 25-30 minutes after a 10-minute sear, so start the oven early.
Wednesday
Meal: Ground Chuck Pasta with Food Club Pasta Sauce
Description: One pound of 80% lean ground chuck is browned with onion and garlic, then simmered with Food Club pasta sauce and tossed with Food Club pasta for a rich, hearty meat sauce. This classic dairy-free pasta dinner is budget-friendly and deeply satisfying for two.
Sale items used: Ground Chuck Food City Fresh 80% Lean ($5.99/lb), Food Club Pasta Sauce 24 oz ($1.00 each), Food Club Pasta 12-16 oz ($1.00 each)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 lb of ground chuck for 2 people; one jar of pasta sauce and one box of pasta is the right amount for two generous servings. No make-ahead needed at 30 minutes total.

Thursday
Meal: Sauteed Cooked Shrimp with Garlic over Russet Potatoes
Description: Pre-cooked shrimp are quickly sauteed in olive oil with plenty of garlic, lemon, and fresh parsley, then spooned over fluffy baked russet potatoes for a light but satisfying dairy-free dinner. The shrimp cook in just minutes, making this the fastest meal of the week.
Sale items used: Cooked Shrimp Farm Raised 26/30 Ct. ($9.99/lb), Basket & Bushel Russet Potatoes (already purchased Monday)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Plan on 1 lb of cooked shrimp for 2 people (0.5 lb per person); use 2 potatoes from the bag purchased Monday. Bake the potatoes first (about 45-50 minutes at 400F) then saute the shrimp in the last 5 minutes - start the potatoes well ahead of dinner time.
