Piggly Wiggly Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Braised Chicken Leg Quarters with Broccoli and Onion
Description: Two chicken leg quarters are seasoned and braised in a skillet until golden and tender, then finished with fresh broccoli florets and sliced onion for a hearty, low-carb dinner. The braising liquid keeps everything moist and flavorful while the vegetables soak up the savory pan juices.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters ($0.79/lb), Broccoli Crowns ($1.99/lb), Always Save Onions ($1.50/bag)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 45 minutes total
Serving note: Purchase approximately 2 lbs of leg quarters (2 quarters, one per person); use about 0.75 lb broccoli crowns and half a 2 lb onion bag. Total cook time is about 45 minutes - start the braise first, then add vegetables in the last 15 minutes.
Tuesday
Meal: Smithfield Marinated Pork Tenderloin Sliced and Pan-Seared with Zucchini
Description: A Smithfield marinated pork tenderloin is sliced into medallions and pan-seared until caramelized, then served alongside golden zucchini coins cooked in the same skillet. The built-in marinade adds bold flavor with no extra prep, making this a fast and satisfying weeknight meal.
Sale items used: Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloins ($4.99 each), Zucchini or Yellow Squash ($1.49/lb)
Prep time: 10 minutes active, 25 minutes total
Serving note: One 18.4-23 oz tenderloin feeds 2 people generously; purchase 1 lb of zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini) for 2 servings. The tenderloin can be sliced and seared in under 20 minutes.
Wednesday
Meal: Carolina Pride Pork Sausage and Broccoli Skillet with Melted Cheese
Description: Carolina Pride pork sausage is crumbled and browned in a skillet, then tossed with steamed broccoli florets and topped with melted shredded cheese for a rich, filling one-pan meal. This skillet comes together quickly and delivers plenty of protein and fat to keep carbs well under the daily limit.
Sale items used: Carolina Pride Pork Sausage Roll ($2.99 each), Broccoli Crowns ($1.99/lb), Best Choice Cheese ($2.00 per 6-8 oz block, 2/$4.00)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use half of the 16 oz sausage roll (8 oz per person) or the full roll for heartier portions; use about 0.75 lb broccoli crowns and one 6-8 oz block of shredded cheese split between 2 servings. Remaining sausage can be refrigerated for another use.
Thursday
Meal: Family Pack Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs Braised with Onion and Tomato
Description: Boneless country style pork ribs are slow-braised in a skillet with sliced onion and diced fresh tomato until fork-tender and deeply savory. This low-carb braise is rich and satisfying, with the tomato and onion breaking down into a natural sauce that needs no thickener.
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs ($2.19/lb), Always Save Onions ($1.50/bag), Hothouse Beefsteak Tomatoes ($1.49/lb)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 60 minutes total
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.5 lbs of ribs for 2 people (about 0.75 lb per person); use half an onion bag and about 0.5 lb of tomato. Total braise time is about 60 minutes - this dish is ideal to start early or prep on a weekend afternoon and reheat.
