Lidl Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week you'll get chicken on two nights, starting with the whole roasted bird on Monday ($7.96) and moving to skillet-braised drumsticks on Tuesday ($2.97). Wednesday is pan-seared pork loin medallions with the $1.99 jar of sauerkraut, and the same bag of yellow onions covers both Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, the $2.11 dozen eggs become a smoked and blue cheese frittata that uses up the second half of your celery, and the green beans and avocados keep the sides low-carb. Friday is the one splurge, the $17.99 sockeye salmon over skillet cauliflower rice, with the last of the avocados on the side.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Whole Chicken with Garlic Green Beans
Description: A Farmer Focus fresh organic whole young chicken is seasoned and roasted until the skin is crisp and the meat is juicy. Cut green beans are sauteed in the pan juices with garlic for a simple, filling low-carb side.
Sale items used: Farmer Focus fresh organic whole young chicken, cut green beans
Prep time: 15 minutes prep + 75 minutes roasting (about 90 minutes total)
Serving note: Assume one 4 lb whole chicken and 1 can (14.5 oz) cut green beans for 4 people. Because the total time runs over 60 minutes, season the chicken in the morning and keep it covered in the fridge so it only needs to go into a 425F oven about 75 minutes before dinner.
Recipes:
- One Pan Roasted Chicken with Lemon Herb Green Beans and Tomatoes
- Crispy Herb Roasted Chicken with Sauteed Green Beans
- Sheet Pan Chicken & Green Beans
Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Braised Chicken Drumsticks with Onions and Celery
Description: Chicken drumsticks are browned in a skillet, then covered and simmered with sliced yellow onion and chopped celery until cooked through and tender. The braising liquid reduces into a savory pan sauce spooned over the drumsticks.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh chicken drumsticks, family pack, yellow onions, Peak Harvest celery
Prep time: 50 minutes
Serving note: Assume 3 lb of drumsticks for 4 people, with 1 yellow onion and half of the celery (1/2 of 1 celery). Brown for 10 minutes, then simmer covered about 30 minutes with a splash of water and salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Pork Loin Medallions with Sauerkraut and Onion
Description: Smithfield half boneless pork loin is sliced into 1-inch medallions, seared, and then simmered briefly with Alpenfest white wine sauerkraut and sliced onion. The medallions stay tender and sliceable, and the tangy kraut cuts the richness.
Sale items used: Smithfield half boneless pork loin, Alpenfest white wine sauerkraut, yellow onions
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Assume 2 lb of pork loin for 4 people, 1 jar/package (28.5 oz) of sauerkraut, and 1 yellow onion. Sear the medallions about 4 minutes per side, then simmer covered with the sauerkraut and onion for about 10 minutes.

Friday
Meal: Pan-Seared Sockeye Salmon with Skillet Cauliflower Rice and Avocado
