Food City Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Skillet-Seared Boneless Chicken Breast with Russet Potato Wedges
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 seasoned with garlic and herbs. This simple, satisfying meal comes together quickly and is naturally gluten-free from start to finish.
Sale items used: Sanderson Farms Boneless Chicken Breast ($1.49/lb with digital coupon), Basket & Bushel Russet Potatoes 5 lb bag ($2.49)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of boneless chicken breast for 2 people (about 2 medium breasts); use 2 medium russet potatoes from the 5 lb bag, saving the rest for later meals this week. The 5 lb bag will cover multiple meals so the per-meal potato cost is minimal.

Tuesday
Meal: Braised Boston Butt Pork with Garlic-Herb Potato Mash
Description: A manageable portion of Boston butt is slow-braised with garlic, herbs, and a splash of broth until fork-tender, then served over creamy garlic-herb mashed russet potatoes. Because a full Boston butt is a large cut, plan to braise it the night before or early in the day and reheat at dinner time for best results.
Sale items used: Food City Fresh Whole-In-Bag Boston Butt ($1.49/lb), Basket & Bushel Russet Potatoes 5 lb bag (already purchased Monday), Food Club Butter ($2.99)
Prep time: 30 minutes active, 2.5 to 3 hours total braising time
Serving note: Purchase approximately 2 lbs of Boston butt for 2 people; this will yield generous portions with some leftovers. Use 2 to 3 russet potatoes from the bag already purchased. Make-ahead tip: braise the pork in the morning or the evening before and simply reheat and shred at dinner time to keep the weeknight manageable.

Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Smithfield Pork Tenderloin with Marinara-Glazed Russet Potatoes
Description: A Smithfield pork tenderloin is seared in a skillet and finished in the oven, then sliced and served alongside russet potato cubes that are roasted and finished with a spoonful of gluten-free pasta sauce as a simple marinara glaze. The result is a restaurant-quality plate at a fraction of the cost.
Sale items used: Smithfield Pork Filets or Tenderloin ($5.00 each), Basket & Bushel Russet Potatoes 5 lb bag (already purchased Monday), Food Club Pasta Sauce 24 oz ($1.00)
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: One package of Smithfield tenderloin (the smaller end of the 13.4-27.2 oz range) is ideal for 2 people and provides about 2 to 3 slices each. Use 2 medium russet potatoes from the bag already purchased. Confirm the pasta sauce label is gluten-free before purchasing, as most plain marinara sauces are.
Thursday
Meal: Garlic Butter Cooked Shrimp over Seasoned Rice
Description: Pre-cooked shrimp are quickly warmed in a skillet with garlic and butter, then spooned over fluffy seasoned white rice for a fast and flavorful dinner. This meal takes under 20 minutes from start to finish and is completely gluten-free.
Sale items used: Cooked Shrimp 26/30 Ct. ($9.99/lb), Food Club Butter ($2.99, already purchased Tuesday)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of cooked shrimp for 2 people, which at 26/30 count gives each person 13 to 15 shrimp. Rice is a pantry staple. Since butter was already purchased for Tuesday, no second purchase is needed.

Friday
Meal: Skillet Chicken Breast Tenders with Firecracker Brussels Sprouts
Description: Fresh chicken breast tenders are seasoned and skillet-cooked until golden, paired with spicy-sweet Firecracker Brussels Sprouts roasted in the oven for a bold and colorful gluten-free plate. This is a quick weeknight finish that uses two great sale items together.
Sale items used: Sanderson Farms Chicken Breast Tenders ($1.99/lb), Firecracker Brussels Sprouts ($6.99/lb)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of chicken tenders for 2 people and approximately 0.75 lb of Firecracker Brussels Sprouts, which is a generous side for two. Verify that the Firecracker Brussels Sprouts seasoning blend used in-store is gluten-free before purchasing.
