5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Roasted Publix Whole Young Chicken with Bulk Sweet Corn and Broccoli
Description: A whole young chicken is seasoned simply and roasted until golden and juicy, filling the kitchen with incredible aroma - perfect for two with leftovers to spare. Fresh sweet corn and steamed broccoli round out the plate with color and crunch.
Sale items used: Publix Whole Young Chicken ($1.59/lb), Bulk Sweet Corn (5 for $3.00), Broccoli (2 for $6.00)
Prep time: 20 minutes prep, 75 minutes roasting
Serving note: Plan on a 3.5 to 4 lb chicken (about $5.57 to $6.36), which feeds 2 generously with leftovers. Buy 2 ears of corn (2 of the 5 for $3.00 deal, $1.20) and 1 bunch of broccoli ($3.00). Since roasting takes over an hour, season the chicken the night before and refrigerate uncovered for better browning.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Breasts with Sauteed Bell Peppers and Fresh Express Salad
Description: Two boneless chicken breasts are seared in a hot skillet until golden and cooked through, then served alongside sweet sauteed bell peppers in a quick weeknight meal. A crisp Fresh Express salad kit on the side keeps things fresh and effortless.

Thursday
Meal: Baked Publix Assorted Pork Loin Chops with Bush's Best Baked Beans and Bulk Sweet Corn
