Publix Kosher Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Braised Chicken Drumsticks with Russet Potatoes and Carrots
Description: (Meat) Two tender chicken drumsticks are slowly braised in seasoned chicken broth with chunked russet potatoes and baby cut carrots until everything is fork-tender and deeply flavorful. This is a hearty, warming one-pot meal that comes together with minimal effort and reheats beautifully if you have leftovers.
Sale items used: Publix Chicken Drumsticks (4-lb or more pkg) at $1.99/lb, Russet Potatoes at $0.99/lb, Publix Baby Cut Carrots (1-lb bag) at $1.29
Prep time: 20 minutes active, 55 minutes total
Serving note: Use 2 drumsticks (approximately 0.5 lb). Use 1 medium russet potato (about 0.5 lb) and roughly one-quarter of the 1-lb carrot bag. Make-ahead tip: braise on Sunday evening and reheat on Monday for a stress-free weeknight dinner.

Tuesday
Meal: Lean Ground Beef and Bean Stuffed Bell Peppers with Beefsteak Tomato Sauce
Description: (Meat) One large bell pepper is filled with a savory mixture of lean ground beef, GreenWise organic beans, garlic, and spices, then topped with a quick fresh sauce made from diced beefsteak tomato and simmered until tender. This single-serving stuffed pepper is satisfying and protein-packed, with the fresh tomato sauce keeping everything moist and bright.
Sale items used: Lean Ground Beef (7% fat, 3-lb or more pkg) at $8.99/lb, GreenWise Organic Beans (low sodium, 15-oz can) at $1.00 each (10 for $10.00), Beefsteak Tomatoes at $1.99/lb
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 50 minutes total
Serving note: Use approximately 0.33 lb of ground beef for 1 stuffed pepper. Use 1 can of GreenWise Organic Beans (you will have leftovers for Friday). Use 1 medium beefsteak tomato (about 0.5 lb) for the sauce. Make-ahead tip: prep and stuff the pepper earlier in the day and refrigerate; bake when ready to eat.

Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Cilantro-Lime Chicken Breast Cutlets with Roasted Broccoli and Sweet Corn
Description: (Meat) One pre-marinated cilantro-lime chicken breast cutlet is pan-seared in olive oil until golden and juicy, then served alongside oven-roasted broccoli florets and a fresh ear of sweet corn. The bright citrus and herb marinade on the chicken does all the seasoning work, making this a fast and vibrant weeknight plate.

Prep time: 10 minutes active, 30 minutes total
Serving note: The 1.5-lb pkg contains multiple cutlets; use 1 cutlet (approximately 6 to 8 oz) and freeze or refrigerate the rest for later in the week. Use half a broccoli bunch (about 1.5 cups of florets). Use 1 ear of sweet corn.

Thursday
Meal: Oven-Roasted GreenWise Lamb Shoulder Blade Chops with Baby Bella Mushrooms and Russet Potatoes
Description: (Meat) One GreenWise lamb shoulder blade chop is seasoned with garlic, rosemary, and olive oil, then oven-roasted alongside sliced baby bella mushrooms and cubed russet potatoes until the lamb is tender and the vegetables are caramelized and golden. This is a restaurant-quality meal at home that feels special without requiring complicated technique.

Make-ahead tip: season the chop and refrigerate it in the morning so it is ready to roast at dinner time.

Friday
Meal: GreenWise Ground Chuck, Bean, and Tomato Skillet with Broccoli
Description: (Meat) GreenWise ground chuck is browned in a skillet with leftover beans from Tuesday, diced beefsteak tomato, garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika to create a hearty and deeply savory one-pan meal.

Serving note: Use approximately 0.33 lb of ground chuck. Use the remaining beans from Tuesday's can. Use 1 small beefsteak tomato (about 0.33 lb). Use the remaining broccoli from Wednesday's bunch. This is the fastest meal of the week and is ideal for a Friday night.
