5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Baked Fryer Leg Quarters with Roasted Carrots and Russet Potatoes
Description: Juicy oven-baked chicken leg quarters seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic powder make a classic, crowd-pleasing dinner that kids love. Roasted baby carrots and russet potato chunks cook right alongside the chicken for an easy one-pan meal scaled perfectly for two.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters (10 lb. bag), Green Giant Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb. bag), Best Choice Russet Potatoes (10 lb. bag)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 50 minutes bake time
Serving note: Use 2 leg quarters (approximately 1.5 lbs total) from the bag; use about 0.5 lb of carrots and 2 medium russet potatoes. The bag and potato sack are large-format buys that will carry over for other meals this week. Start the oven at 400 degrees F and plan for about 65 minutes total - season the chicken the night before to save time.

Meal: Carolina Pride Sausage and Broccoli Skillet Pasta with Knorr Pasta Sides

Thursday
Meal: Baked Fast Fixin' Chicken Nuggets with Frozen Potato Wedges and Ranch Dipping Sauce
