Food City Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Chicken Breast with Sauteed Green Bell Peppers and Shredded Cheese
Description: Two boneless chicken breasts are seasoned and seared in a hot skillet until golden and juicy, then topped with melted shredded cheese for a rich, satisfying finish. Sliced green bell peppers are sauteed alongside in olive oil until tender-crisp, making a colorful, low-carb plate for two.
Sale items used: Boneless Chicken Breast (Family Pack or Jumbo Pack) at $1.99/lb, Green Bell Peppers at $0.99 each, Food Club Shredded or Chunk Cheese (6-8 oz) at $1.99 with card
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 1 lb of boneless chicken breast total (about 0.5 lb per person); 2 green bell peppers, one per person; top each breast with a generous handful of shredded cheese from one 6-8 oz bag.
Tuesday
Meal: Skillet Ground Round with Sauteed Green Cabbage and Lime
Description: One pound of 85% lean ground round is browned in a skillet with garlic and seasonings, then served alongside shredded green cabbage sauteed until just tender. A squeeze of fresh lime over the top brightens the whole dish and keeps net carbs well under 20g per serving.
Sale items used: Ground Round (Food City Fresh, 85% Lean, 3 lbs or more) at $6.99/lb, Green Cabbage at $0.89/lb, Lemons or Limes at $0.79 each
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 1 lb of ground round (minimum purchase is 3 lbs - freeze the remaining 2 lbs for later use); use about 0.75 lb of green cabbage total for two servings; 1 lime, halved and squeezed over both plates.
Recipes:
- Ground Beef Stir Fry
Wednesday
Meal: Bacon-Wrapped Pan-Cooked Boneless Chicken Breast with Cucumber Salad
Description: Each boneless chicken breast is wrapped in two strips of Oscar Mayer bacon and pan-cooked until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through, creating a savory, protein-packed main. A cool cucumber salad dressed with olive oil, a splash of lime juice, and salt serves as a refreshing low-carb side for two.
Sale items used: Boneless Chicken Breast (Family Pack or Jumbo Pack) at $1.99/lb, Oscar Mayer Bacon (16 oz) at $4.99 with card (Fresh From the Butcher section), Cucumbers at $0.89 each, Lemons or Limes at $0.79 each
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 1 lb of boneless chicken breast (2 breasts, about 0.5 lb each); wrap each breast with 2-3 strips of bacon from one 16 oz package; slice 2 cucumbers for the salad; use 1 lime for the dressing.

Thursday
Meal: Skillet-Cooked Assorted Pork Chops with Sauteed Green Cabbage and Cabot Chunk Cheese
Description: Two bone-in or boneless pork chops are seasoned and cooked in a cast-iron skillet until browned and cooked through, then finished with thin slices of Cabot chunk cheese melted over the top. Shredded green cabbage is sauteed in the same pan drippings for a flavorful, low-carb side that uses every bit of the pork's natural fat.
Sale items used: Assorted Pork Chops (Food City Fresh) at $1.99/lb, Green Cabbage at $0.89/lb, Cabot Chunk Cheese (8 oz) at $2.49 with card (after digital coupon)
Prep time: 30 minutes

Friday
Meal: Chilled Cooked Shrimp with Cucumber, Green Bell Pepper, and Lime
Description: Pre-cooked chilled shrimp are arranged over a crisp mix of sliced cucumber and diced green bell pepper, then drizzled with fresh lime juice and a touch of olive oil for a light, elegant no-cook dinner. This bright, refreshing plate comes together in minutes and delivers plenty of protein with virtually no net carbs.
