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: Juicy oven-baked chicken breasts seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and a little garlic butter make a comforting, kid-approved dinner. Served alongside fluffy mashed or halved russet potatoes tossed in butter, this is a classic plate that kids aged 5-12 will happily clean.
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: 40 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of chicken breast for 2 people (about 0.5 lb per person); use 2-3 medium russet potatoes from the 5 lb bag; butter is used for both the chicken and the potatoes. Leftover potatoes from the bag will carry over to Friday.
Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Pork Chops with King's Hawaiian Roll Sliders
Description: Tender center-cut boneless pork chops are pan-seared until golden and sliced thin, then tucked into soft King's Hawaiian rolls for fun little sliders kids will love. A simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of butter keeps the flavors familiar and mild.
Sale items used: Boneless Pork Chops Food City Fresh Center Cut ($3.99/lb), King's Hawaiian Rolls 12 ct ($3.99)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of boneless pork chops for 2 people; slice each chop thin after cooking and divide among 4-6 Hawaiian rolls (2-3 sliders per person); 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: Bite-sized chicken tenders are quickly cooked in a skillet and tossed with tender pasta and a mild tomato pasta sauce for a simple, spaghetti-night-style dinner kids absolutely love. Everything comes together in one pan and one pot, making cleanup easy on a midweek night.
Sale items used: Chicken Breast Tenders Fresh Family Pack Sanderson Farms ($1.99/lb), Food Club Pasta 12-16 oz ($1.00), Food Club Pasta Sauce 24 oz ($1.00)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of chicken tenders for 2 people; use half the 12-16 oz pasta box (about 6-8 oz dry pasta) for 2 servings; use half the 24 oz jar of pasta sauce and save the rest for another use.

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 pulled and piled onto slices of fresh-baked Italian bread for easy, saucy pulled pork sandwiches kids will devour. Keep the seasoning mild with just salt, garlic, and a touch of your favorite BBQ sauce from the pantry for a crowd-pleasing result.
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 + 6-8 hours slow cook
Serving note: Purchase a 2 lb Boston butt portion if your store can cut one, or buy the smallest available whole piece (typically 4-6 lbs) and freeze the remainder for future meals; 2 lbs yields generous pulled pork for 2 people. Make-ahead note - start the slow cooker in the morning so the pork is ready by dinnertime.
Friday
Meal: Buttered Skillet Cooked Shrimp with Russet Potato Wedges
Description: Plump pre-cooked shrimp are warmed quickly in a buttery skillet with a pinch of garlic and served alongside crispy oven-baked russet potato wedges for a fun, finger-food-friendly Friday dinner. Kids love dipping both the shrimp and potato wedges into a simple butter or ketchup dipping sauce on the side.
Sale items used: Cooked Shrimp Farm Raised Previously Frozen 26/30 ct ($9.99/lb), Basket & Bushel Russet Potatoes 5 lb bag (already purchased Monday), Food Club Butter (already purchased Monday)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of cooked shrimp for 2 people (about 26-30 shrimp total, roughly 13-15 shrimp per person); use 3-4 remaining russet potatoes from the bag purchased Monday; no additional butter or potato purchase needed this day.
