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 whole organic chicken is rubbed with butter, garlic and herbs, then roasted until the skin is crisp and golden. Green beans are sauteed in garlic and the roasting drippings for a simple, low-carb side that serves two with leftover chicken.
Sale items used: Farmer Focus fresh organic whole young chicken, cut green beans
Prep time: 85 minutes
Serving note: Buy one 4 lb chicken (assumed total weight 4 lb). Roast the whole bird, serve about 1/2 lb of meat per person, and save the rest for lunches. Use 1 can of cut green beans (drained) with 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp butter, about 5g net carbs per serving. Total time is over an hour, so season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic and dried thyme up to a day ahead and leave it uncovered in the fridge for crisper skin. Roast at 425F for about 70-75 minutes, until the thigh reaches 165F, and rest 10 minutes while you cook the beans.

- Crispy Herb Roasted Chicken with Sauteed Green Beans
- Sheet Pan Chicken & Green Beans
Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Braised Chicken Drumsticks with Onions and Celery
Description: Six drumsticks are browned in a skillet, then braised with sliced onion and celery in chicken broth until tender. The pan juices reduce into a savory sauce with no flour or sugar needed.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh chicken drumsticks, yellow onions, Peak Harvest celery, chicken broth
Prep time: 50 minutes
Serving note: Use about 2 lb drumsticks (assumed total weight 2 lb, about 6 drumsticks, 3 per person). Add 1 medium yellow onion (sliced), 2 celery stalks (sliced) and 3/4 cup chicken broth. Brown the drumsticks for 8 minutes, add the vegetables and broth, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Uncover for the last 5 minutes to reduce the sauce. This is about 6g net carbs per serving.

Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Pork Loin Medallions with Sauerkraut and Onion
Description: Pork loin is sliced into medallions and seared until golden, then served over warm sauerkraut and caramelized onion. The tangy kraut balances the rich pork with very few carbs.
Sale items used: Smithfield half boneless pork loin, Alpenfest white wine sauerkraut, yellow onions
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 lb pork loin (assumed total weight 1 lb, 0.5 lb per person), cut into 6 medallions about 3/4 inch thick. Ask the meat counter to cut a 1 lb piece, or slice it from a larger roast and freeze the rest. Sear 3-4 minutes per side. Use 1 sliced onion and about 1.5 cups drained sauerkraut, warmed in the same pan. Net carbs are about 8g per serving.

Thursday
Meal: Smoked Cheese and Blue Cheese Frittata with Celery and Avocado
Description: Six eggs are whisked with diced smoked cheese and crumbled blue cheese, then baked with sauteed celery until puffed and set. Fresh sliced avocado on the side adds healthy fats and creaminess.
Sale items used: Hillandale jumbo white eggs, smoked cheese assortment, Milbona aged blue cheese, Peak Harvest celery, avocados
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 6 eggs, about 3 oz diced smoked cheese, about 2 oz crumbled blue cheese, 2 celery stalks (finely diced) and 1 avocado (half per person). Saute the celery in 1 tbsp butter for 4 minutes, pour in the egg and cheese mixture, cook 3 minutes on the stove, then bake at 375F for 12-15 minutes. Net carbs are about 5g per serving.
Friday
Meal: Pan-Seared Sockeye Salmon with Skillet Cauliflower Rice and Avocado
Description: Skin-on sockeye fillets are seared crisp-skin side down and finished with a squeeze of lemon. They are served over garlicky skillet-fried cauliflower rice with sliced avocado.
Sale items used: Fish Market fresh wild caught sockeye salmon fillet, Peak Harvest frozen riced cauliflower, avocados
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Buy 1 lb salmon (assumed total weight 1 lb, 0.5 lb per person) and cut it into 2 fillets. Cook the full 12 oz bag of riced cauliflower (about 1.5 cups per person) straight from frozen in a hot skillet with 1 tbsp butter and garlic for 6-8 minutes. Sear the salmon 4 minutes skin-side down and 2-3 minutes on the other side. Serve with 1 sliced avocado (half per person), about 7g net carbs per serving. Save the remaining 2 avocados from the 4-pack for snacks or salads.
