Kroger Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Johnsonville Smoked Sausage and Potato Skillet with Hatch Chiles
Description: Sliced Johnsonville smoked sausage is browned in a skillet with diced potatoes and roasted Hatch chile peppers for a hearty one-pan dinner built for two. The smoky sausage and mild heat from the chiles make this a satisfying weeknight meal that comes together in under 30 minutes.
Sale items used: Johnsonville Smoked Dinner Sausage (9.6-14 oz, $2.99 with Digital Coupon), Hatch Chile Peppers ($1.49/lb), Private Selection Gourmet Potatoes 1.5 lb (2/$7.00)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 package (9.6-14 oz) of Johnsonville sausage, sliced into rounds, split between 2 people. Use about 0.5 lb of Hatch chiles (assumed weight for 2 servings). Use 1 bag (1.5 lb) of gourmet potatoes, diced. The corn in the 2/$7.00 deal is skipped in favor of the potatoes only; buy one bag at $3.50.
Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Simple Truth Chicken Breasts with Sweet Onion and Hatch Chile Sauce
Description: Two Simple Truth boneless chicken breasts are pan-seared to golden perfection and topped with a quick sauce of sliced Hatch sweet onion and roasted Hatch chiles for a bright, gluten-free dinner. The sauce comes together in the same pan while the chicken rests, keeping cleanup minimal for a two-person meal.
Sale items used: Simple Truth Boneless Chicken Breasts ($3.99/lb), Hatch Chile Peppers ($1.49/lb), Hatch Sweet Onions 3 lb bag ($3.99)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of chicken breasts (2 breasts at roughly 0.5 lb each) at $3.99/lb, total $3.99. Use about 0.5 lb of Hatch chiles for the sauce. The 3 lb onion bag will be used across multiple meals this week, making it a practical buy.
Wednesday
Meal: Simple Truth Italian Chicken Sausage and Egg Scramble with Sour Cream
Description: Crumbled Simple Truth Italian chicken sausage is cooked with diced Hatch sweet onion and scrambled together with eggs, then finished with a dollop of cool sour cream for a protein-packed gluten-free breakfast-for-dinner. This quick skillet meal is naturally gluten-free and comes together in about 20 minutes for two people.
Sale items used: Simple Truth Italian Chicken Sausage 16 oz ($4.99/EA), Pete & Gerry's Organic Eggs 12 ct ($6.19), Kroger Cottage Cheese or Sour Cream 24 oz (2/$5.00), Hatch Sweet Onions 3 lb bag (already purchased Tuesday)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use half the 16 oz sausage package (about 8 oz per meal, saving the rest), 4 eggs total (2 per person), and a generous spoonful of sour cream per plate. Buy one 24 oz sour cream container; the 2/$5.00 deal requires buying 2 units, so pick up one sour cream and one cottage cheese to satisfy the deal at $5.00 total.

Thursday
Meal: Kroger 93% Lean Ground Beef and Rice Bowl with Sweet Onion
Description: Seasoned 93% lean ground beef is browned with diced Hatch sweet onion and served over fluffy white rice for a simple, filling gluten-free bowl. A drizzle of gluten-free soy sauce or your favorite seasoning ties the bowl together for a satisfying two-person dinner.
Sale items used: Kroger 93% Lean Ground Beef 3 lb package ($6.99/lb), Hatch Sweet Onions 3 lb bag (already purchased Tuesday)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: The 3 lb package is priced at $6.99/lb, totaling $20.97 for the full package. For 2 people you only need about 1 lb (0.5 lb per person); however, the sale item is sold as a 3 lb package. Use 1 lb for this meal and freeze the remaining 2 lbs for future use, making the per-meal protein cost very reasonable. Total package cost is $20.97. Rice is a pantry staple.
Check the label: soy sauce is usually brewed with wheat. Tamari is the gluten-free alternative.

Friday
Meal: Oven-Baked Private Selection Cedar Plank Salmon with Peaches
Description: A 24 oz Private Selection cedar plank salmon fillet is oven-baked until flaky and served alongside sliced fresh California peaches for a naturally sweet and savory gluten-free dinner. The cedar plank infuses the salmon with a subtle smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with the juicy summer peaches for an elegant two-person meal.
Sale items used: Private Selection Cedar Plank Salmon 24 oz ($17.99), California Yellow or White Peaches ($2.99/lb)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: The 24 oz salmon package is perfectly sized for 2 people at roughly 12 oz per person. Purchase about 0.75 lb of peaches (2-3 peaches) at $2.99/lb, totaling approximately $2.24. Follow package instructions for oven temperature; most cedar plank salmon bakes at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, so preheat the oven early.
