5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters with Yellow Potatoes and Onions
Description: A crisp-skinned roasted chicken leg quarter sits on a bed of golden yellow potato chunks and sweet caramelized onion. The second quarter roasts alongside it so it is ready to shred for Thursday.
Sale items used: Fresh chicken leg quarters ($0.99/lb), yellow potatoes, yellow onions
Prep time: 65 minutes
Serving note: Buy 2 leg quarters, about 2 lbs total (roughly 1 lb each). Roast both, and eat 1 tonight with 1 medium potato (about 6 oz), cubed, and 1/2 onion, cut in wedges. Toss with oil, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder, then roast at 425 F for 50 to 55 minutes. This runs over an hour, so cube the potato and slice the onion earlier in the day. Refrigerate the second quarter whole for Thursday.
