Publix Kosher Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Braised Chicken Drumsticks with Russet Potatoes and Carrots
Description: (Meat) Four chicken drumsticks are slowly braised in seasoned chicken broth with chunked russet potatoes and tender baby cut carrots until the meat falls off the bone. This hearty one-pot meal is deeply satisfying and ideal for a weeknight, with the braising liquid becoming a rich, savory sauce.
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 approximately 1.5 lbs of drumsticks (roughly 4 pieces) for 2 people; use 1 lb russet potatoes and the full 1-lb bag of carrots. Total cook time is about 55 minutes - start the braise first, then prep the vegetables while the chicken begins cooking.

Tuesday
Meal: Lean Ground Beef and Bean Stuffed Bell Peppers with Beefsteak Tomato Sauce
Description: (Meat) Two large bell peppers are halved and filled with a savory mixture of lean ground beef, GreenWise organic beans, garlic, and spices, then topped with a fresh beefsteak tomato sauce and baked until tender.

Total bake time is about 35 minutes - stuff and sauce the peppers ahead of time and refrigerate, then bake when ready.

Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Cilantro-Lime Chicken Breast Cutlets with Roasted Broccoli and Sweet Corn
Description: (Meat) Pre-marinated cilantro-lime chicken breast cutlets are pan-seared in olive oil until golden and juicy, served alongside oven-roasted broccoli florets and fresh sweet corn cut from the cob. The bright citrus marinade on the chicken pairs beautifully with the caramelized edges of the roasted vegetables.
Sale items used: Publix Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Cutlets, Cilantro-Lime-Marinated (1.5-lb each pkg) at $8.49, Broccoli or Cauliflower (each bunch) at 2 for $6.00, Bulk Sweet Corn (extra large) at 5 for $3.00
Prep time: 10 minutes active, 35 minutes total
Serving note: One 1.5-lb pkg of the marinated cutlets is ideal for 2 people; buy 1 bunch of broccoli (half of the 2 for $6.00 deal, so purchase 2 bunches to get the deal price of $3.00 each - use one now and one Thursday or Friday); buy 2 ears of sweet corn. The broccoli roasts at the same oven temperature as the corn, so both can go in together.
