Family Meal Plan

MONDAY

• Main Dish: – Cream of Mushroom Chicken– This dish is classic comfort food ALL THE WAY! It takes literal minutes to get it in the oven and is packed with flavor and creamy goodness. I say this one is a must try!
• Side Dish:
  • Garlic Roasted Vegetables – Easy, fast, garlicky, and so delicious. A winning combo for. aside dish!
  • Rice- We like to serve the chicken right over the rice so that it soaks up every last drop of that delicious sauce. 

TUESDAY

• Side Dish:
  • Drizzle sauce– Try our japanese steakhouse Yum Yum Sauce copycat recipe or if you like a kick, go with our spicy mayo!
  • Sriracha Coleslaw– My husband and I love to layer this on top of the rice, but if you want something more kid friendly, you can go with a little plain shredded cabbage!

THURSDAY

Add rinsed and drained black beans and sweet corn and top with chopped BBQ chicken and more cheese. Bake at 425˚F for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and nachos are heated through. Top with a drizzle of BBQ sauce and your choice of sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo.
