Sunday:
Make the mayo spread for the Santa Fe Grilled Chicken Sandwiches. Store in the fridge in a container labeled “Wednesday”.
Divide ground beef into four patties. Freeze with parchment or wax paper in between the burgers.
Butterfly chicken breasts in half. Take half the chicken and put in a container in the fridge labeled “Wednesday”.
Follow the recipe to make Chicken Cordon Bleu. Stop before dipping the chicken in the butter/dijon mixture and coating in the breadcrumbs/cheese. Store in a casserole dish in the fridge. On Monday, finish the recipe and cook the chicken according to the directions.
Dice the chicken thighs for the Honey Garlic Chicken. Place diced chicken in a freezer bag labeled “Friday”. Make the sauce for the Honey Garlic Chicken and add it to the freezer bag over the diced raw chicken. Store in the freezer.
Tuesday:
After making the omelets, cook the chicken and bell pepper in the same pan. (I did not use a grill. Since I already dirtied a pan for omelets, I used it to cook the meat and peppers for Wednesday night’s meal.
Thursday:
Get the crockpot ready for tomorrow night’s dinner: Honey Garlic Chicken!
Set an alarm to remind you to start the crock pot before leaving for work in the morning.
