5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Baked 8-Piece Dark Meat Chicken with Roasted Sweet Corn and Carrots
Description: (Meat) Season two or three dark meat pieces from the 8-piece pack with garlic, paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper, then bake at 400 degrees F for about 40 minutes until golden and cooked through. Serve alongside one ear of roasted sweet corn and a handful of baby cut carrots tossed in olive oil and roasted on the same sheet pan.
Sale items used: 8-Piece Dark Meat Chicken ($4.49 each), Sweet Corn ($1.99 for 5 ct tray), Giant Peeled Baby Cut Carrots ($1.99 for 2 lb. bag)
Prep time: 50 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 to 3 pieces from the 8-piece pack for one serving and refrigerate or freeze the remaining pieces for later in the week or future meals. Use 1 ear of corn from the 5-count tray and about 0.5 lb of carrots from the 2 lb bag. Make-ahead tip: bake all 8 pieces at once and store extras in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Tuesday
Meal: Gilbert's Chicken Sausage and Prego Marinara Pasta
Description: (Meat) Slice one or two links of Gilbert's Chicken Sausage and brown them in a skillet with olive oil, then stir in Prego marinara sauce and toss with cooked Giant pasta for a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner. Finish with a pinch of dried Italian herbs and a drizzle of olive oil - no dairy added to keep this meal strictly meat.
Sale items used: Gilbert's Chicken Sausage ($3.99 each), Prego Sauce ($1.99 each), Giant Pasta ($0.99 each)
