Tips for this Week’s Meal Plan
- Sunday: Roast or buy a rotisserie chicken (or two). Serve some for dinner and reserve the rest for the chicken enchilada casserole. Extra meat can be used for chicken salad at lunch.
- Thursday: Make a double batch of chicken bites so you’ll have leftovers for Friday’s Buffalo Chicken Salad. Toss the chicken with buffalo sauce for heat or leave it plain—both are delicious. Make extra roasted red potatoes and use them as crunchy salad “croutons.”
- Money-Saving Tips:
- Use the bones from your rotisserie chicken to make homemade chicken stock to stretch meals further.
- Plan to use broccoli in multiple dishes—roasted broccoli, broccoli salad, and in the chicken-and-broccoli dinner—to avoid waste and save money.
- Use leftover fruit from the broccoli salad as a side for the chicken enchilada casserole.
