5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Roasted Whole Chicken with Broccolini and Basmati Rice
Description: A whole organic chicken is roasted until golden and juicy, served alongside tender broccolini and fluffy basmati rice for a satisfying, classic dinner for two. Leftovers from the chicken can be saved for quick lunches or added to Tuesday's sausage dish for extra protein.
Sale items used: Farmer Focus fresh organic whole young chicken ($1.99), Broccolini 6 oz. ($2.49), Lidl Preferred Selection white basmati rice 2 lb. ($2.99)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, 60-75 minutes total (including roasting)
Serving note: Use the full whole chicken (typically 3-4 lbs.) for two people, which provides generous portions plus leftovers; use the full 6 oz. broccolini bundle and cook about 1 cup dry basmati rice (roughly half the 2 lb. bag) for two servings. Since roasting takes over an hour, season and truss the chicken up to a day ahead and refrigerate uncovered for crispier skin.
Tuesday
Meal: Sauteed Dulano Italian Chicken Sausage with Red Bell Peppers and Sourdough
Description: Sliced Italian chicken sausage is sauteed with sweet red bell peppers until caramelized and fragrant, then served alongside thick slices of toasted sourdough for a quick and flavorful weeknight meal. The combination of savory sausage and charred peppers makes this a colorful, satisfying plate for two.
Sale items used: Dulano Italian chicken sausage family size 10 ct. 24 oz. ($5.99), Red bell peppers 2 ct. ($2.49), Lidl Preferred Selection sourdough 20 oz. ($2.49)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 4 of the 10 sausage links for two people (about 9-10 oz. of sausage); use both red bell peppers; slice and toast 4 thick pieces of sourdough. Store remaining sausage links in the freezer for future meals.

Meal: Pan-Seared Faroe Island Salmon Fillet with Arugula and Sweetpops Tomato Salad
Description: A beautiful Faroe Island salmon fillet is pan-seared skin-side down until crispy, then served over a bright salad of peppery baby arugula and halved Sweetpops tomatoes dressed simply with olive oil and lemon. This elegant, restaurant-quality meal comes together in under 30 minutes and highlights the quality of the fresh salmon.
Sale items used: Fresh Faroe Island whole salmon fillet ($9.99), Peak Harvest organic baby arugula 5 oz. ($2.99), Sweetpops tomatoes 1.5 lb. ($3.99)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: The whole salmon fillet (typically 1.5-2 lbs.) serves two generously; portion into two equal fillets before searing. Use the full 5 oz. bag of arugula and about half the 1.5 lb. container of tomatoes for the salad, saving the rest for snacking or Thursday's meal.

Meal: Skillet Ground Beef Patties with Milbona Cheddar and Sourdough Toast
Description: Lean 93% ground beef patties are cooked in a hot skillet until juicy and topped with melted sharp cheddar, then served open-faced on toasted sourdough slices for a hearty, satisfying dinner. A simple side of remaining Sweetpops tomatoes rounds out the plate with freshness and color.
Sale items used: Fresh ground beef patties 93% lean 4 ct. 21.3 oz. ($8.49), Milbona sliced sharp cheddar cheese 16 oz. ($2.99), Lidl Preferred Selection sourdough 20 oz. ($2.49)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 of the 4 patties for two people (about 10.6 oz. total); top each patty with 1-2 slices of cheddar; toast 2-4 slices of sourdough. Refrigerate or freeze the remaining 2 patties for another meal later in the week or next week.

Friday
Meal: Baked Chicken Wings with Vitasia Sweet Chili Sauce and Avocado Slices
Description: Crispy baked chicken wings are tossed in Vitasia sweet chili sauce for a sticky, sweet-heat glaze, then served alongside cool, creamy avocado slices for a fun and flavorful Friday night dinner. This crowd-pleasing combination is easy to scale and perfect for a relaxed end-of-week meal for two.
Sale items used: Fresh whole chicken wings family pack ($1.99), Vitasia sweet chili sauce 23.1 fl. oz. ($2.49), Large avocados 1 ct. ($0.69)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 45-50 minutes total (including baking)
Serving note: Use about 1.5-2 lbs. of wings from the family pack for two people (roughly 8-10 individual wing pieces); drizzle or toss with 3-4 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce; slice 1 avocado between two people. Freeze remaining wings from the pack in a zip bag for a future meal. Since baking takes about 45 minutes, preheat the oven early and season wings while it heats.
