Food City Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Chicken Breast with Corn and Green Bell Peppers
Description: Two boneless chicken breasts are seasoned and seared in a hot skillet until golden and juicy, then served alongside sweet fresh corn cut from the cob and sauteed strips of green bell pepper. This simple, colorful plate comes together quickly and is completely dairy-free with bright, satisfying flavors.
Sale items used: Boneless Chicken Breast ($1.99/lb), Fresh Corn 7 pk ($5.00), Green Bell Peppers ($0.99 each)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of boneless chicken breast (2 medium breasts) at $1.99/lb; use 2 ears of corn from the 7-pack (the remaining ears carry forward to Thursday); use 1 green bell pepper sliced between 2 people.
Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Browned Ground Round and Cabbage Stir-Fry with Lime
Description: Lean ground round is browned in a hot skillet and tossed with shredded green cabbage, garlic, and a squeeze of fresh lime for a hearty and satisfying one-pan meal for two. The cabbage wilts down beautifully and soaks up all the savory beef juices, making this a filling and budget-friendly dinner.
Sale items used: Ground Round 85% Lean ($6.99/lb), Green Cabbage ($0.89/lb), Limes ($0.79 each)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 1 lb of ground round at $6.99/lb (note the 3 lb minimum purchase requirement - plan to freeze the remaining 2 lbs for future use); purchase approximately 1 lb of green cabbage at $0.89/lb; use 1 lime between 2 people.
Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Fried Assorted Pork Chops with Cucumber Salad and Lime Dressing
Description: Two bone-in pork chops are seasoned and pan-fried until cooked through with a golden crust, then plated alongside a refreshing cucumber salad dressed with fresh lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. The cool, crisp salad balances the richness of the pork perfectly for a well-rounded dairy-free dinner.
Sale items used: Assorted Pork Chops ($1.99/lb), Cucumbers ($0.89 each), Limes ($0.79 each)
Prep time: 30 minutes

Description: Fresh wild-caught flounder fillets are seasoned with lemon juice, garlic, and herbs then seared in a hot skillet until flaky and golden, served alongside sauteed green bell pepper strips and a side of heated frozen vegetables. The bright lemon flavor lifts the delicate fish beautifully and keeps the whole plate light, fresh, and dairy-free.
