5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Baked Fryer Leg Quarters with Roasted Broccoli and Carrots
Description: Juicy, budget-friendly chicken leg quarters are seasoned and roasted in the oven until golden and crispy, served alongside tender roasted broccoli crowns and baby carrots for a satisfying weeknight dinner for two. This classic combination delivers big flavor at a very low cost per serving.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters (10 lb. bag) at $0.69/lb, Crisp Broccoli Crowns at $1.99/lb, Green Giant Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb. bag) at $0.99 each
Prep time: 15 minutes prep, 45 minutes cook time
Serving note: Purchase 2 leg quarters from the 10 lb. bag, approximately 1.5 lbs total at $0.69/lb; use half the broccoli crown (about 0.5 lb) and half the carrot bag; the full 10 lb. bag is the smallest available unit so freeze the remaining quarters for future meals - season and prep the chicken the night before to save time on Monday.
