Food City Kid-Friendly Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Baked Sanderson Farms Boneless Chicken Breast with Buttered Russet Potatoes
Description: A single boneless chicken breast is seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder, then baked until juicy and golden. It is served alongside a fluffy russet potato mashed or cubed with plenty of butter for a classic, comforting kid-approved plate.
Sale items used: Sanderson Farms Boneless Chicken Breast ($1.49/lb with digital coupon), Basket & Bushel Russet Potatoes 5 lb bag ($2.49), Food Club Butter ($2.99)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 0.5 lb of chicken breast for 1 person, costing about $0.75. Use 1 to 2 medium russet potatoes from the 5 lb bag (the rest stores well all week). Use about 1 tablespoon of butter from the 16 oz package, which will also be used throughout the week.
Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Pork Chops with King's Hawaiian Roll Sliders
Description: A single center-cut boneless pork chop is pan-seared until golden and sliced into strips, then tucked into soft, sweet King's Hawaiian rolls for fun little sliders kids love. A drizzle of butter on the rolls and simple seasoning keeps the flavors familiar and delicious.
Sale items used: Boneless Pork Chops Food City Fresh Center Cut ($3.99/lb), King's Hawaiian Rolls 12 ct ($3.99), Food Club Butter ($2.99 - already purchased Monday)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 0.5 lb of boneless pork chop for 1 person, costing about $2.00. Use 2 to 3 rolls from the 12-count package for sliders; the remaining rolls can be used as sides or snacks later in the week.
Wednesday
Meal: Chicken Breast Tenders Skillet with Food Club Pasta and Pasta Sauce
Description: Fresh chicken breast tenders are quickly cooked in a skillet and tossed with tender pasta and a simple tomato pasta sauce for an easy, kid-favorite pasta night. Everything comes together in one pan for minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.
Sale items used: Sanderson Farms Chicken Breast Tenders Fresh Family Pack ($1.99/lb), Food Club Pasta 12-16 oz ($1.00), Food Club Pasta Sauce 24 oz ($1.00)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 0.5 lb of chicken tenders for 1 person, costing about $1.00. Cook about 2 oz of dry pasta (roughly one serving) and use about half the jar of pasta sauce; the remaining sauce stores in the fridge for a few days.

Thursday
Meal: Slow-Cooked Boston Butt Pork Sandwiches on Italian Bread
Description: A small portion of Boston Butt is slow-cooked until fall-apart tender, then shredded and piled onto slices of fresh-baked Italian bread for a hearty, satisfying sandwich. The mild, savory pulled pork is a crowd-pleaser that kids find fun and delicious.
Sale items used: Food City Fresh Whole-In-Bag Boston Butt ($1.49/lb), Italian Bread Baked Fresh Daily ($2.99)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, plus 4 to 6 hours slow cooking
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of Boston Butt at about $1.49; slow cooking a small portion still works well and yields enough for a generous sandwich with leftovers. Make-ahead tip - start the pork in a slow cooker or low oven in the morning so it is ready by dinner. Use 2 to 3 slices of Italian bread per serving.
Friday
Meal: Buttered Skillet Cooked Shrimp with Russet Potato Wedges
Description: Pre-cooked shrimp are warmed quickly in a buttery skillet with simple seasoning for a fast and fun dinner kids enjoy. Crispy oven-baked russet potato wedges seasoned with a little salt round out the plate for a satisfying end-of-week meal.
Sale items used: Cooked Shrimp Farm Raised Previously Frozen 26/30 Ct. ($9.99/lb), Basket & Bushel Russet Potatoes 5 lb bag ($2.49 - already purchased Monday), Food Club Butter ($2.99 - already purchased Monday)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 0.5 lb of cooked shrimp for 1 person, costing about $5.00. Use 1 to 2 medium russet potatoes from the bag purchased Monday. Since shrimp is sold by the pound, ask the seafood counter for just half a pound to avoid waste.
