Chicken and Pork for a Week of Easy Meals

0 comments  •   2 minute read

A useful weekly meat shop is not a hamper of everything. It is chicken you can cook three ways and pork that covers a midweek grill plus a Sunday joint. That is how we pack the chicken and pork ranges at Meatsupermarket.com.

Chicken that lasts the week

Plain breast is the backbone. Chicken Breast 1kg is the right start for two people: four or five fillets, enough for a stir-fry, a tray bake and sandwiches. If you meal-prep, Fresh 5kg Chicken Breast Fillets or the 5kg Frozen Chicken Breast Fillets bag is the bulk option. Portion into 1kg bags on the day it arrives so you are not defrosting five kilos for one curry.

Diced saves the knife work. Diced Chicken Breast 1kg goes straight into a pan with a jar of sauce. Misshaped diced packs are the same meat with a rougher cut, useful when you are not plating restaurant strips.

Bone-in meat is cheaper per kilo and better in the oven. Chicken Thighs 900g-1.1kg (Frozen) and Chicken Drumsticks 900g-1.1kg (Frozen) are the midweek tray-bake packs. The 2kg Chicken Thigh Value Pack is what you want if thighs are on twice a week. Season, 200°C, until the juices run clear.

Pork for the nights that are not chicken

Pork Loin Steaks 4x 135g is a 20-minute dinner: hot pan, rest, mustard or apple sauce. Garlic Pork Loin Steaks 4x 135g and Piri-Piri Pork Loin Steaks 4x 135g are the same cut already seasoned. For a bigger pack, Piri Piri Boneless Pork Steaks x16 packed in 4's splits across four meals.

Sunday wants a joint, not another steak. Boneless Pork Loin Joint 3kg will feed a table and leave cold pork for Monday. Score the fat, salt it, and roast until the centre is cooked through. Pork Belly Slices 700g are the other pork night: oven until the skin crackles.

A simple seven-day layout

Mon: diced chicken. Tue: pork loin steaks. Wed: chicken thighs. Thu: leftover chicken in a wrap or fried rice. Fri: pork belly or a grill of sausages. Sat: something from the BBQ range if the weather allows. Sun: the loin joint. That uses one 1kg breast pack, one thigh pack, one pork-steak pack and a joint, which is a sensible online order rather than seven separate deliveries.

If you would rather a mixed box do the thinking, Meat For The Week Hamper and the Steak & Chicken Power Box sit in the bundles collection. Check the contents on the product page before you assume it matches this plan.

Shop chicken and pork together so the order clears the £85 free-delivery mark with food you will cook, not filler.
