Lidl Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Chicken Thigh and Vegetable Stir-Fry with Rice
Description: Tender boneless chicken thighs are stir-fried with fresh vegetables in a quick gluten-free sauce, served over fluffy long grain rice. A simple, protein-packed dinner ready in about 25 minutes.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh chicken thighs, boneless/skinless; Golden Sun parboiled long grain rice; Vidalia onions; Mixed tomatoes
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 0.5 lb chicken thighs (about $1.50), 1/3 cup dry rice, 1/4 onion, and 1/2 tomato diced along with any on-hand vegetables like bell pepper. Use tamari or a certified gluten-free soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce.
Check the label: soy sauce is usually brewed with wheat. Tamari and coconut aminos are the gluten-free alternatives.

Wednesday
Meal: Oven-Baked St. Louis Pork Spareribs with Honey BBQ Sauce
Description: A practical portion of pork spareribs is oven-baked until tender then brushed with a sweet honey barbecue glaze. This scaled-down version avoids waste while keeping the classic flavor.
Sale items used: Smithfield's fresh pork spareribs, St. Louis style; Sweet Baby Ray's honey barbecue sauce
Prep time: 75 minutes (mostly hands-off baking)
Serving note: Buy about 0.75 lb spareribs (a small end-cut portion) for approximately $2.24. Bake low and slow at 300F for about 60 minutes covered, then uncover and glaze with 2-3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce for a final 10-15 minutes. Since total time exceeds 60 minutes, start ribs early or prep the glaze ahead while ribs bake.
