Lidl Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Whole Chicken with Garlic Green Beans
Description: A crisp-skinned roast chicken is carved so you get one generous dinner portion, with the rest saved for low-carb lunches. Green beans are warmed in butter and plenty of garlic for a simple, savory side.
Sale items used: Farmer Focus fresh organic whole young chicken, cut green beans
Prep time: 15 minutes active, about 1 hour 30 minutes total
Serving note: Assume a 4 lb whole chicken. Eat about 6 oz of meat with skin (a drumstick-thigh piece plus some breast) with 1/2 can of drained green beans (about 3/4 cup) sauteed with 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp butter, about 5g net carbs. Roast at 425F for 70 to 80 minutes until the thickest part reads 165F, then rest 10 minutes. To save time, salt and season the chicken the night before and leave it uncovered in the fridge. Refrigerate the remaining meat for 2 to 3 days of lunches.

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Braised Chicken Drumsticks with Onions and Celery

Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh chicken drumsticks, yellow onions, Peak Harvest celery, chicken broth
Prep time: 10 minutes active, about 50 minutes total
Serving note: Assume 1 lb of drumsticks (3 to 4 pieces). Use 1/4 yellow onion sliced, 1 celery stalk sliced, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 tsp oil and a pinch of thyme, about 6g net carbs.

Meal: Pan-Seared Pork Loin Medallions with Sauerkraut and Onion

Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Assume 0.5 lb of pork loin, cut into 3 medallions about 3/4 inch thick (ask the meat counter for a small piece, or cut one from the packaged loin and freeze the rest).
