5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Pan-Cooked Boneless Chicken Breast with Fresh Corn and Green Bell Peppers
Description: Two boneless chicken breasts are seasoned simply and pan-cooked until golden, then served alongside sweet fresh corn cut from the cob and sauteed bell pepper strips that kids love to pick up and eat. This colorful, familiar plate comes together quickly on a weeknight and is easy for little ones to enjoy.
Sale items used: Boneless Chicken Breast (Family Pack, $1.99/lb), Fresh Corn 7 pk ($5.00), Green Bell Peppers ($0.99 each)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Plan on about 1 lb of chicken breast total for 2 people (roughly one large or two smaller breasts) at $1.99/lb, so approximately $2.00 for the chicken portion used; use 2 ears of corn from the 7-pack and 1 green bell pepper. The 7-pack of corn will carry over for Thursday's taco night.

Tuesday
Meal: Stovetop Oscar Mayer Wiener Mac and Cheese with Sliced Cucumber
Description: Sliced Oscar Mayer wieners are stirred into a creamy stovetop mac and cheese for a classic kid-approved dinner that comes together in about 20 minutes. Cool, crisp cucumber slices on the side add a refreshing crunch that balances the cheesy richness.
Sale items used: Oscar Mayer Meat Wieners ($2.99 with card), Food Club Shredded or Chunk Cheese 6-8 oz ($1.99 with card), Cucumbers ($0.89 each)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use about half the 16 oz pack of wieners (roughly 4-5 links) for 2 people and save the rest for snacks or lunches; use 1 cucumber sliced into rounds. The shredded cheese melts into the pasta sauce - use about half the bag for this meal.
