Publix Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Roasted Publix Whole Young Chicken with Bulk Sweet Corn and Vine-Ripe Tomatoes
Description: A whole young chicken is roasted until golden and juicy, seasoned simply with olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a satisfying solo dinner with plenty of leftovers for the week. Fresh sweet corn and sliced vine-ripe tomatoes round out the plate with bright, summery flavor.
Sale items used: Publix Whole Young Chicken ($1.59/lb), Bulk Sweet Corn (5 for $3.00), Vine-Ripe Tomatoes ($2.49/lb), Bertolli Olive Oil (BOGO)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, 75 minutes total roasting
Serving note: Purchase one whole chicken at approximately 3.5 lbs (about $5.57); roast the whole bird and refrigerate leftovers for sandwiches or salads later in the week. Buy 2 ears of corn (2 of the 5-for-$3.00 deal, prorated at $0.60 each) and about 0.5 lb of vine-ripe tomatoes ($1.25). Make-ahead tip: season the chicken the night before and refrigerate uncovered for better browning; start roasting at least 90 minutes before you want to eat.
Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Breasts with Broccoli and Publix Idaho Russet Potatoes
Description: A boneless chicken breast is seared in a hot skillet until golden and cooked through, then served alongside roasted broccoli florets and a baked russet potato for a hearty, clean dairy-free meal. The simple preparation lets the quality of the antibiotic-free chicken shine.
Sale items used: Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Breasts ($3.99/lb), Broccoli (2 for $6.00), Publix Idaho Russet Potatoes ($3.99 for 5-lb bag)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of chicken breast ($2.00); ask the butcher to portion one breast if possible. Buy one bunch of broccoli (half of the 2-for-$6.00 deal, $3.00 per bunch) and use the 5-lb bag of potatoes across Tuesday and Friday meals to maximize value. Use one medium potato per serving.
Wednesday
Meal: Publix Mild Pork Italian Sausage Skillet with Red, Yellow, and Orange Bell Peppers and Vine-Ripe Tomatoes
Description: Two pork Italian sausage links are sliced and browned in a skillet, then tossed with colorful bell pepper strips and fresh diced vine-ripe tomatoes for a quick one-pan meal. Serve over a slice of crusty bread or on its own for a satisfying dairy-free weeknight dinner.
Sale items used: Publix Mild Pork Italian Sausage ($5.69 for 20-oz pkg), Red, Yellow, or Orange Bell Peppers ($2.99/lb), Vine-Ripe Tomatoes ($2.49/lb)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: The 20-oz package contains approximately 5 links; use 2 links for this meal and refrigerate or freeze the remaining 3 for future use. Purchase about 0.5 lb of mixed bell peppers ($1.50) and about 0.5 lb of vine-ripe tomatoes ($1.25). One of each color pepper is ideal; buy loose peppers by weight to avoid overspending.
Thursday
Meal: Broiled Publix Assorted Pork Loin Chops with Brussels Sprouts and Bulk Sweet Corn
Description: One or two pork loin chops are seasoned and broiled to a caramelized finish, paired with roasted Brussels sprouts and a fresh ear of sweet corn for a balanced and satisfying plate. The BOGO deal on the 8-chop package makes this an excellent value even for a single diner.
Sale items used: Publix Assorted Pork Loin Chops (BOGO), Brussels Sprouts (2 for $6.00), Bulk Sweet Corn (5 for $3.00)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: The BOGO package contains 8 chops; use 2 chops for this meal and freeze the remaining 6 in individual portions for future meals, making the per-serving cost very low. Buy one package of Brussels sprouts (half of the 2-for-$6.00 deal, $3.00 per pkg) and 1 ear of corn (prorated at $0.60). Freeze leftover chops the same day you shop to maintain freshness.
Friday
Meal: Sauteed White Shrimp with Fresh Express Salad Blend and Publix Idaho Russet Potatoes
Description: Colossal white shrimp are quickly sauteed in olive oil with garlic and a squeeze of lemon for a light yet satisfying main, served alongside a crisp salad blend and a baked russet potato. This simple preparation highlights the natural sweetness of the responsibly sourced shrimp.
Sale items used: White Shrimp ($9.99/lb), Fresh Express Salad Blends (2 for $6.00), Publix Idaho Russet Potatoes (already purchased Monday)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of white shrimp ($5.00); colossal shrimp at this size yields about 5 to 6 pieces per half pound, which is a generous single serving. Buy one salad blend bag (half of the 2-for-$6.00 deal, $3.00 per bag) and use one potato from the 5-lb bag already purchased on Tuesday.
