Food City Dairy-Free Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Fresh Split Chicken Breast with Roasted Tasteful Selections Potatoes and Canned Vegetables
Description: Two split chicken breasts are seasoned and pan-seared until golden, then finished in the oven for juicy, flavorful results. Roasted Tasteful Selections potatoes and a side of warmed That's Smart! canned vegetables round out this simple, satisfying dairy-free dinner for two.
Sale items used: Fresh Split Chicken Breast Sanderson Farms Family Pack ($1.99/lb), Tasteful Selections Potatoes 16 oz. ($2.99), That's Smart! Vegetables 14.5-15.25 oz. ($0.89)
Prep time: 45 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.5 lbs of split chicken breast (about 2 pieces) at $1.99/lb for a total of $2.99 in meat; one 16 oz. bag of potatoes serves two comfortably; one can of That's Smart! vegetables is plenty for two. Because the chicken needs oven time after searing, start the potatoes first so everything finishes together around the 45-minute mark.

Tuesday
Meal: Sliced Whole Boneless Pork Loin with Sauteed Vidalia Onions and Beefsteak Tomato Salad
Description: A portion of whole boneless pork loin is seasoned, roasted, and sliced thin for two, served alongside sweet Vidalia onions sauteed until golden. A fresh beefsteak tomato salad with olive oil and herbs adds a bright, dairy-free finish to the plate.
Sale items used: Whole Boneless Pork Loin Food City Fresh ($1.99/lb), Vidalia Onions Sweet ($1.29/lb), Beefsteak Tomatoes Vine Ripened ($1.99/lb)
Prep time: 55 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.5 lbs of pork loin at $1.99/lb for a cost of $2.99; buy about 0.5 lb of Vidalia onions at $1.29/lb for $0.65; buy about 0.75 lb of beefsteak tomatoes at $1.99/lb for $1.49. The pork loin roast takes the longest, so get it in the oven first and prep the salad and onions while it rests.

Wednesday
Meal: Ground Beef Skillet with That's Smart! Vegetables and Vidalia Onions over That's Smart! Saltine Crackers
Description: Lean ground beef is browned with diced Vidalia onions and seasoned with pantry spices, then stirred together with That's Smart! canned vegetables for a hearty, one-pan skillet.

Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 1 lb of ground beef at $2.99/lb; use the remaining Vidalia onions from Tuesday (about 0.25 lb, roughly $0.32 worth); one can of That's Smart! vegetables and about half the box of saltine crackers serves two well. Note that the ground beef price requires a card and an additional $25 purchase plus a digital coupon - confirm the coupon is clipped before shopping.

Friday
Meal: Baked Fresh Tilapia Fillets with Beefsteak Tomatoes and That's Smart! Vegetables
Description: Two fresh tilapia fillets are seasoned with herbs and lemon and baked until flaky and tender, making a light and healthy dairy-free dinner to close out the week. Sliced vine-ripened beefsteak tomatoes and a warm side of That's Smart! canned vegetables complete the plate with minimal effort.
