Collage of recipes for meal plan 21, including marry me chicken

This week’s meal plan is mixing things up so we can enjoy a variety of flavours and meal styles.

We have a variety of one-pan, all-in-one sanity savers and a couple of super comforting recipes… Like the sound of a batch cook Steak Piemake double for next week – and my brand new, slightly special and mouthwatering Marry Me Chicken for you to impress your family with?

Hope you enjoy the combination!

I’ll be sharing this meal plan on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, so watch out for the videos so you can cook along.

For reference, I shopped for this Meal Plan in March 2023 at Tesco and it cost £38.76.

Why use a meal plan?

⭐️ Knowing exactly what food to buy avoids food waste and saves you money.
