5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Heritage Farm Boneless Chicken Breast with Steamed Corn and Asparagus

Sale items used: Heritage Farm Boneless Chicken Breast ($2.29/lb), Kroger Sweet Corn 4 ct Package ($3.99), Asparagus ($3.49/lb)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of boneless chicken breast (2 medium breasts) at $2.29/lb; use 2 ears of corn from the 4 ct package (save 2 ears for Friday); purchase approximately 0.75 lb of asparagus for 2 generous side servings.

Tuesday
Meal: Eckrich Smoked Sausage and Kroger Steamer Vegetables Skillet with Minute Rice
Description: Sliced Eckrich smoked sausage is browned in a skillet then tossed with a bag of Kroger steamer vegetables for a quick one-pan meal. The savory skillet is served over fluffy Minute Rice cups for a hearty, completely gluten-free dinner ready in under 25 minutes.

Wednesday
Meal: Kroger 80% Lean Ground Beef Taco Bowls with Sargento Shredded Cheese and Guacamole
Description: Seasoned ground beef is cooked with cumin, chili powder, and garlic then served over steamed white rice in a bowl topped with Sargento shredded cheese and a generous scoop of store-made guacamole. This fully gluten-free taco bowl skips the tortillas entirely and delivers all the bold flavors of taco night in a satisfying rice base.
Sale items used: Kroger 80% Lean Ground Beef ($5.99/lb), Sargento Shredded Cheese 5-8 oz (2 for $4.00), Guacamole 14 oz Made In-Store ($6.99)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 1 lb of ground beef at $5.99/lb for two generous bowls; purchase 1 package of Sargento shredded cheese at $2.00 (one unit of the 2 for $4.00 deal - buy 2 packs to get the deal price and use the second pack on Thursday and Friday); the 14 oz guacamole is plenty for 2 people with leftovers for snacking.

Thursday
Meal: Kroger Beef Shaved Steak Stir-Fry with Asparagus and Sargento Shredded Cheese Rice Bowl
Description: Kroger beef shaved steak is quickly stir-fried in a hot skillet with fresh asparagus, garlic, and gluten-free tamari sauce then served over steamed rice topped with melted Sargento shredded cheese. The thin-cut beef cooks in minutes, making this a fast and flavorful weeknight meal that is completely gluten-free.
Sale items used: Kroger Beef Shaved Steak 14 oz ($5.99 each), Asparagus (already purchased Monday - use remaining portion), Sargento Shredded Cheese (second pack from Wednesday's 2 for $4.00 purchase)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: One 14 oz package of shaved steak serves 2 people well in a stir-fry; use the remaining asparagus from the 0.75 lb purchased Monday; use the second Sargento pack from Wednesday's deal; use gluten-free tamari (not soy sauce) from your pantry.

Friday
Meal: Garlic Butter Jumbo EZ Peel Shrimp with Sweet Corn and Sargento Shredded Cheese
Description: Jumbo shrimp are sauteed in garlic butter with a pinch of smoked paprika and served alongside the remaining sweet corn from Monday, with Sargento shredded cheese melted over the corn for a rich finishing touch. This quick and elegant gluten-free dinner comes together in under 20 minutes and makes a satisfying end to the week.
Sale items used: Jumbo EZ Peel Shrimp 21-25 ct Raw 2 lb bag ($6.99/lb with Digital Coupon), Kroger Sweet Corn (remaining 2 ears from Monday's 4 ct package), Sargento Shredded Cheese (use any remaining from earlier in the week)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 1 lb of shrimp (half the 2 lb bag) - note the item is sold as a 2 lb bag at $6.99/lb so the full bag costs $13.98; use 1 lb for this meal and freeze the remaining 1 lb for later use; 1 lb of 21-25 ct shrimp yields approximately 21-25 shrimp, which is 10-12 shrimp per person - a generous main dish portion; use the 2 reserved corn ears from Monday.
