Who here is changing their eating patterns in the New Year?

If you’re changing your eating patterns this year to do keto or just generally eat fewer carbs, here are ten keto friendly chicken recipes to help jump start that resolution for you.

You can also use these ideas to swap out recipes on a more carb-heavy night in any of these meal plans — modify away to meet your own family’s eating patterns and needs. 🙂

ALDI meal planning week of 1/13/19 – 1/19/19

I’m assuming that you already have pantry basics like cooking oil, common condiments, and spices. 🙂 *** Read through the recipes before you shop, to make sure you have the necessary pantry staples on hand for this week’s ALDI menu plan.

Six Easy Dinners from ALDI for $60.00

ALDI meal plan — Start cooking 1/13/19

• Sunday: Roasted chile-lime chicken and potatoes. On the side, honey roasted carrots (throw these in the oven when you stir the potatoes halfway through the chicken cooking time), plus Cara Cara oranges.
• Monday: Slow cooker BBQ chicken thighs (substitute for the drumsticks), honeycrisp apples, and spring mix salad topped with chopped broccoli & carrots. (Reserve at least 8 oz broccoli for Friday.)
• Tuesday: Easy spice rubbed fish tacos (use thawed cod instead of tilapia). Serve on corn tortillas & top with cilantro, sour cream, avocado, two chopped tomatoes, and shredded cheddar, and have pineapple on the side.
• Wednesday: Comforting kielbasa potato soup, baguette, and spring mix salad topped with half the cucumber (peeled & chopped) & chopped carrots.
• Thursday: Low carb veggie fajita bowls with cilantro lime cauliflower rice (also top with a little sour cream, if desired). Have the best black beans and honeycrisp apples on the side.
• Friday: Cod packets with broccoli & mushrooms (use thawed cod instead of tilapia), Cara Cara oranges, spring mix salad topped with the last tomato & other half of the cucumber.

Things to know about the ALDI meal plans

A couple of notes

1. I try not to repeat main dish recipes more often than once a month, but you will see favorite easy recipes come up again in these weekly ALDI meal plans as the same meats and produce items come up again on sale. Part of the fun of meal planning lies in mixing old stand-bys with something new each week.
2. If one or more of these recipes isn’t to your taste, or if you have other ingredients to use, you can adapt the recipes in this ALDI meal plan to your family’s preferences — or just use the ideas here to supplement your own meal planning. See: Pantry staples to stock up on and how to modify a meal plan for your family.

** Ad markets and dates

This week’s ALDI meal plan reflects prices from the current week’s ad (running 1/6-1/12 in Sunday ad markets, and 1/9-1/15 in Wednesday ad markets). Non-advertised prices were collected on 1/9/19 at my local store in the Chicago suburbs, but non-advertised prices and produce deals *may vary* by location & region. In either ad market, shop any time through Saturday and start cooking on Sunday 1/13/19.
