Meal Plan – Week 395

*If you make a recipe this week and love it, please consider leaving a rating and comment on the recipe post. It helps to support my blog and makes my day!*

Monday

• Main Dish: Baked Chicken and Peppers – Chicken, colorful peppers and a delicious sauce all baked together in one dish. This is an easy dinner with hardly any cleanup, and it’s SO good served over rice. Definitely one to keep in the weeknight rotation!
• Side Dish:
  • Oven Roasted Green Beans – A little olive oil, seasoning and a hot oven are all you need. They get those delicious roasted edges and make an easy veggie side for just about any dinner.
  • Fluffy Rice – You need something to soak up all that delicious sauce from the chicken and peppers! This lemon rice is light, fluffy and has just enough flavor to make it more exciting than plain rice.

Tuesday

• Main Dish: Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Soup – Taco Tuesday but make it – soup! All those delicious enchilada flavors come together in the crockpot, so you can get dinner started and let it do its thing. Don’t forget your favorite toppings!
• Side Dish:
  • Mexican Caesar Salad – A fun twist on a classic Caesar with a little Mexican-inspired flavor. It’s fresh, crunchy and SO good next to a big bowl of enchilada soup.
  • Easy Mexican Cornbread – Sweet, savory and a little cheesy! Grab a piece for dipping into your soup because this combination is REALLY good.

Wednesday

• Main Dish: Creamy Chicken Italian Pasta – Creamy sauce, tender chicken and pasta all in one skillet? YES. My family gets excited about this, and I love that it doesn’t require a bunch of separate dishes to make it happen.
• Side Dish:
  • Italian Side Salad – Gives all the Olive Garden vibes! A big bowl of crisp greens with all the toppings and your favorite Italian dressing is exactly what this pasta dinner needs.
  • Garlic Bread – This is our family go-to recipe! Crispy edges, buttery garlic goodness and perfect for getting every last bit of that creamy pasta sauce. I never make just a little!

Thursday

• Main Dish: Crockpot Pineapple Chicken – Sweet, savory and SO easy! The pineapple gives this chicken the best flavor, and the crockpot does all the work. Serve it over rice and dinner is handled!
• Side Dish:
  • Asian Cucumber Salad – Cool, crunchy and tangy with just the right amount of flavor. This is such a refreshing side!.
  • Thai Salad with Peanut Dressing – That peanut dressing is SO good! You can leave the chicken out since we’ve already got protein for dinner, and you’ll still have a delicious, fresh salad to round out the meal.

Friday

• Main Dish: Garlic Herb Steak – Do not forget to make the chimichurri so you can drizzle over the steak. It completely changes the game and makes dinner feel restaurant-worthy without the restaurant bill.
• Side Dish:
  • Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes – I have to make extra every single time because everyone wants seconds…including me. Creamy potatoes with garlic and Parmesan are always a good idea!
  • Roasted Vegetables – Toss them in the oven and let them roast while everything else cooks. An easy way to get some veggies on the table without adding another thing to your dinner workload.
• Dessert – Chocolate Chip Cookies – You can’t go wrong with chocolate chip cookies! These are perfect for the weekend and easy to share if you’re headed to a game or get-together. My other crowd favorites are my Wyoming Cowboy Cookies and Double Chocolate Pudding Cookies.

Appetizer

• Cranberry Brie Bites – Holiday appetizer season is HERE, and these need to be on your list! Just 4 ingredients and 25 minutes for flaky puff pastry, creamy brie and cranberry goodness. They’re so easy to make, but everyone will think you went all out!
