Shop here for Pulled Pork (Chops) & Cole Slaw!
Meal 1: Sheet Pan Pork Chops
Essentials:
Sheet pan
Simply Done Aluminum Foil
Cutting board
Chef knife
Large microwavable bowl
From the Pantry:
¾ cup PICS Crumbled Feta or Shredded Parmesan
Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper,
PICS Vegetable Oil Spray
PICS Extra Virgin Olive Oil
This sheet pan dinner is flexible and flavorful! The key to great sheet pan meals is making sure you know the cooking times for each food, so you can adjust preparation and timing as needed to finish cooking at the same time. We share some hacks and tips here to help you create a delicious meal and get the best value from each ingredient.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
Wash and dry the potatoes, and wash the asparagus, setting them aside on a clean towel to dry.
Dice the potatoes (skins on for extra flavor, texture and fiber!), and place in the microwavable bowl. Toss the potatoes with 1 Tbsp PICS Olive Oil, and 1 tsp of garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Microwave on high for 3 – 5 minutes.
(#Hack – “pre-cooking the potatoes ensures they will be done when the rest of the meal is finished, and reduces risk of overcooking the chops and asparagus.)
Line the sheet pan with the foil, and spray the foil with the PICS Vegetable Oil Spray.
Place the 4 chops side-by-side in the center of the pan, leaving some space between each, and leaving two large spaces at each end of the sheet pan.
Remove the potatoes from the microwave and add them to one end of the sheet pan, spreading them out so they cook evenly.
Place the sheet pan in the oven on the top rack, and set the timer for 15 minutes.
Move the asparagus to the cutting board, and cut off the woody ends. You may leave them whole, or cut them into thirds. Place the cut vegetable in a bowl and toss with a tsp of PICS Olive Oil. Place the vegetables and cheese near the stove, and keep the meat thermometer handy.
When the timer is up, remove the sheet pan and place on the stove top. Sprinkle the cheese on the pork chops and asparagus. Return the pan to the oven and set the timer for 8 minutes.
When the timer is up, check the pan – the cheese should be melted and bubbling. Remove the sheet pan and check one of the chops – the temperature should be about 145 degrees. Allow the pan to rest on the stove top, and serve up the potatoes and vegetables, moving the chops last to allow for a few minutes rest.
Enjoy!
Meal 2: Pulled Pork (Chops) & Cole Slaw
Essentials:
1 large slow cooker
Chef knife
Cutting board
From the Pantry:
Kosher salt
Pepper
Onion powder
Optional apple or mandarin orange segments
This flexible recipe is a wonderful, hands-off, one-pot dinner you can start in the early afternoon and finish up in just a few minutes. The light base seasoning is good enough to enjoy as is, or easy to combine with other spices, BBQ sauce, Thai Peanut Sauce, or whatever you like! There won’t be any leftovers!
Combine 1 TBSP each of onion powder, Kosher salt and pepper. Place the first pork chop in the slow cooker and sprinkle the seasoning generously; repeat for each chop. Add the chopped onion to the cooker, on top of and around the chops. Cover and set for 4 hours on low.
An hour before the pork is finished, follow package directions and prepare the coleslaw. Make a great plate – stretch out the slaw, adding flavor and nutrients, by adding some fruit. Peel and chop the apple or mandarin orange (canned, drained mandarins can also be used). Add them into the coleslaw for a fun flavor twist.
When the pork is done, check for temperature – it should be 145 degrees or higher, and fall-apart tender. Use two large forks to shred the pork, allowing the meat to fall into the juices and melted onion, stirring to combine. Use tongs to remove the bones. Toast the buns if you like. Serve it all up and enjoy a great value family meal!
Enjoy!

Let’s take a closer look at this week’s meal planning items!
2 lbs. Market 32 Hand Trimmed Fat Free Chicken Breasts or Cutlets
2 packs Market 32 Fresh Mozzarella Cheese (Buy one get one FREE)
1 jar (15oz) PICS Panko Bread Crumbs
1 jar (24oz) PICS Traditional Pasta Sauce
1 package PICS Spaghetti
1 package Birdseye Frozen Vegetables
1 lb. Tomatoes (about 3 total)
Fresh Basil
Winner, Winner Chicken Parm Dinner!
Make chicken parm a new favorite in your house with this delicious, easy, and cost-effective recipe!
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- (Hack- Hot water head start! Fill a large pot with water for cooking spaghetti and turn stove on to low. Place a cover on the pot.
- Open PICS Pasta Sauce and place about 1 cup in a bowl. Keep the remaining sauce in the jar, ready to use on the pasta.
- Hack – place 1 Market 32 Mozzarella package into the freezer. Set a timer for 10 minutes. The cheese will slice more easily if slightly frozen. Don’t allow the cheese to freeze.
- Place the foil on the sheet pan, and spray lightly with PICS Vegetable Oil.
- Place two cups of PICS Panko Breadcrumbs in a low-sided flat-bottomed dish. (Hack – add Italian Blend herbs for extra flavor!) Have the Birdseye Steambag and a serving bowl ready near the microwave.
- Butterfly chicken breasts and use a meat hammer to pound the chicken thin on a clean cutting board. Cutlets do not have to be butterflied or pounded before breading.
- Spray each piece of chicken lightly on both sides and dredge in the PICS Panko. (Tip – the oil helps the breading stick and helps it crisp in the oven, good for oven or air frying.)
- Place all chicken pieces on the sheet pan and place the pan on the top rack in the oven. Set the timer for 8- 10 minutes. Have clean tongs ready to flip the chicken over.
- Remove the mozzarella cheese from the freezer when the timer is done and slice it to your preferred width. Thinner slices will melt faster, and you can layer them if you like extra. Cut enough slices to cover the top of each piece of chicken. Turn the pasta water up to medium/high.
- Turn the oven down to 375 degrees. Remove the sheet pan from the oven to the stove top. Using the tongs, flip each piece of chicken over – they should be a little browned and crisped on each side. Next, spoon 2-3 Tbsp of PICS Pasta Sauce from the bowl on each one. (Food safety tip – discard any remaining sauce in the bowl.) Top with sliced fresh Market 32 Mozzarella, enough to cover most of the meat and sauce. Place the sheet pan back in the oven and set the timer for 8 minutes.
- The pasta water should be boiling – follow prep directions on the PICS Pasta box.
- Place the vegetable steam bag in the microwave, following package directions for temperature and timing. This can be started anytime and warmed for 1 more minute when the rest of the meal is plated.
- When pasta is done, remove one cup of water, and drain. Return pasta immediately to the pot, add the remaining pasta sauce from the jar and some of the reserved pasta water, stirring to combine and coat the pasta. (Tip – you can also add a can of PICS Italian Diced Tomatoes for some extra flavor, texture, and moisture. It is an easy way to nudge more tasty veggies into your meal.) Add more sauce to taste.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Heat steam bag for one more minute. Divide pasta and place on 4 plates. Using the tongs, place the hot, cooked Chicken Parmesan (instant thermometer temp should be 165 degrees) on top of the pasta and sauce. Carefully open the steam bag and place the hot veggies in the waiting bowl, then spoon a heaping serving on each plate. Sprinkle PICS Grated Parmesan Cheese on top of everything for a fabulous finish!

Fast Fix Fresh Chicken Caprese Dinner
Enjoy the taste of summer with this incredibly fresh recipe!
- Wash tomatoes and basil under cool water, and pat dry. Set tomatoes aside on a clean cutting board with a serrated knife.
- Use the rest of the Market 32 Fresh Chicken Breast or Cutlet second pack for this quick and easy fresh meal.
How you cook the chicken is up to you, or you can let one of your dinner mates feel special and choose how to prepare it. Marinated in a vinaigrette and sauteed? Oven or air-fried with PICS Vegetable Oil and PICS Panko? Grilled with your favorite seasoning? It’s your call!
- While the chicken is cooking, place 4 dinner plates near a clean cutting board.
- Slice tomatoes in 4-5 thin slices each, and Mozzarella Cheese into slices as well.
- Layer tomatoes, cheese, and fresh basil (or jarred pesto) on each dinner plate. Add a little more flavor with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice.
- When the chicken is done (internal temperature should be 165 degrees), place 1 piece chicken next to the plated Caprese salad and serve.

Got a hungry crowd? These value meal ideas keep your budget and time under control while delivering hearty and delicious meals. Each meal should serve up to 4 people, all under $3 per person! Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients you will need.
1 lb. Market 32 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 box Prince Pasta
1 Jar Classico Alfredo Sauce
1 pack PICS Frozen Chopped Spinach
1 bag PICS Shredded Swiss 8oz
1 container Market 32 White Mushrooms
1 container Hormel Mashed Potatoes
1 container Pillsbury Grands Biscuits
1 bag Birdseye Steamfresh Brussels Sprouts
1 bag Birdseye Steamfresh Mixed Vegetables
1 can PICS Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
1 bag Full Circle Organic Baby Carrots
Chicken Alfredo Pasta Bake
First up is a Chicken Alfredo Pasta Bake, with a hack to get ahead on kid-favorite Muffin Tin Pot Pies. What better way to create a meal your family will enjoy while also getting prepared for a different meal later in the week?
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a sheet pan with PICS Vegetable Oil Spray, and place all but two of the chicken breasts on the sheet pan. Roast for about 30 minutes.
While the chicken is roasting, cook 1 box of Prince Pasta, cook according to package directions. Drain when cooked, saving 1 cup of water from the pot. (Tip – pasta shells or spirals will soak up more sauce. Reserve another ½ cup of water for those varieties.)
Open 1 package of PICS Frozen Chopped or Leaf Spinach. Add to the warm pasta, mixing in to assist with defrosting.
When the chicken is cooked, (internal temperature 165 degrees) remove from the pan and divide the roasted breasts into two equal portions (2-3 breasts each). Cover and refrigerate the second portion of chicken for the pot pies. Cut the remaining chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken pieces to the pasta and spinach in the pot, then the contents of the jar of Classico Alfredo Sauce, and the reserved pasta water. Heat on low and stir occasionally to combine until sauce is simmering, adding more water as needed to coat the pasta and chicken. Luscious!
Sheet Pan Mushroom Swiss Chicken
This simple one-pan meal will make everyone happy! You can’t forget the convenience of sheet pan meals. Having everything in one area and not having to clean up multiple dishes is a win-win.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a large sheet pan with PICS Vegetable Oil, (or place Simply Done Aluminum Foil on the sheet pan before spraying oil to cut down on clean up time! #Hack) coating the entire pan surface. Place chicken breasts on the pan at one end. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss Brussels Sprouts and mushrooms with 1- 2 TB PICS Olive Oil, and add to the sheet pan, spreading out so all veggies have room to roast.
Bake for 25 minutes, turning vegetables once to roast evenly, for about 25 minutes. Veggies may be done slightly ahead of the chicken – check the sprouts with a fork, they should be slightly browned and tender.
Hormel Mashed Potatoes are up next – follow package directions to heat the potatoes up in the microwave. Keeping time in mind, get them set up in the microwave, ready to start.
Remove tray from oven. Turn oven up to broil. Remove vegetables from the tray with a spatula, placing them in a bowl for serving. Place shredded Swiss on each chicken breast and return to the lower rack of the oven. Set the microwave according to potato package instructions, which takes about 5 minutes. Broil until cheese is melted and slightly browned.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken – it is done when the thermometer reads 165 degrees. Serve and savor!
Muffin Tin Pot Pies* – Easy to assemble, bake and freeze for a quick meal on a busy day!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray 1 muffin tin with PICS Vegetable Oil.
Follow directions and microwave 1 (10 Oz) bag of Birdseye Steamfresh Mixed Vegetables, or 1 (10 oz.) bag of PICS Steambag Frozen vegetables of your choice.
Cut remaining roasted chicken breasts into bite-size pieces. Add cooked vegetables to the cut chicken breast. Add PICS soup to the chicken and vegetables and mix well.
Open 1 Grands Biscuit containers. Separate biscuits and use the palm of your hand or the end of a clean jar to flatten to about 5-inch diameter. Place each biscuit into a muffin cup, leaving the edges open. Fill each biscuit cup with about 1/3rd (3 TB) of chicken and vegetables mixture. Crimp biscuit edges over the mixture – they will resemble small hand-pies.
Place the sheet pan with the baby carrots on the top rack, and the muffin tins on the lower rack of the oven. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Serve 2 mini pot pies with the side of roasted carrots, or cool and freeze for a busy day!

We are kicking off another month of value meals right to your inbox!

Let’s take a closer look at this week’s meal items:
-1 lb Market 32 Hot or Sweet Italian Sausage
-4 Green Bell Peppers
-1 box PICS Instant White Rice, 14oz
-1 Yellow Onion
-1 jar Prego Pasta Sauce
-1 dozen PICS Grade A Jumbo Eggs
-1 bag PICS Burrito Tortilla, Flour, 10 inch

-1 lb Market 32 Hot or Sweet Italian Sausage
-4 Green Bell Peppers
-1 box PICS Instant White Rice, 14oz

Kickoff!
Prepare rice according to package directions. Hack – cook double and freeze what you don’t need for a quick whole grain side or an easy add to soup.
Dice onion. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Split 1 lb. of sausage and discard casing. Brown sausage in a large skillet, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks. Add diced onion to the skillet as sausage begins to brown. When sausage is cooked, drain fat and set aside.
Wash and dry peppers. Cut the tops off and remove seeds and membranes. Hack – speed cooking time by microwaving the peppers on high for 3 – 4 minutes. It is like blanching and will reduce overall cooking time.
Combine sausage and rice in the skillet. Add ¾ jar of pasta sauce, and additional seasonings if you like, such as a tsp of Italian herbs, or ½ tsp of granulated garlic. Combine all ingredients.
Prep a casserole dish large enough to hold 4 peppers upright with a light spray of vegetable oil. Place pepper cups in the dish, and spoon filling in, packing it down and allowing it to mound on top. Top with a Tbsp. or two of the remaining pasta sauce and put the top back on the peppers.
Bake for 30 minutes, until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees. Make it your own with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or shredded mozzarella and a pinch of chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Another year has just begun, and you may already be feeling the weight of cooking multiple nights a week. Fear not…navigating meal time just got a whole lot easier!
