Inexpensive Chicken Recipes
By Larisa Noga
I have noticed in this hard economic time more and more people
are turning to food that cost less, that means for meat most
people are eating more and more chicken. In fact, my husband who
works for a local grocery store as a meat cutter says the beef
sales are down about 30% from last year but the chicken sales
are up 25%. With us all eat more and more chicken that means we
are probably eating it night after night which becomes really
mundane. So what do you do?
You find ways to keep the chicken exciting and make sure from
night to night it is different. Meaning you need to find recipes
that are high in flavor but still keep costs down. Then we tend
to run into another problem flavor means time, right? And let’s
face it most of us don’t have a lot of time to make dinner with
work, kids and soccer practice. So now we need recipes for
chicken breasts that are cheap, flavorful, AND don’t take much
time.
You’re in luck because I just so happen to know a few, well
okay a lot, of recipes just like that. Here is one that is very
quick, tastes great and you can customize it to your families
tastes and size.
Chicken Rice
3 c cooked rice (you can use white, brown, instant, or even
Rice-a-Roni)
2 Chicken breast cooked and cubed (I will cook 5-6 breast for
my family of 4 and then freeze the other rest)
1-2 c of your choice of frozen veggies (I personally like
something green, like broccoli, peas, or green beans with mine)
You add all of this together on Medium heat adding a little
water if necessary for 10-15 minutes. Then season with pepper a
little salt and if you choose, garlic powder.
Serves 4.
This recipe above will feed four and it only cost me about 5
dollars to make. That ends up costing just over $1 a person and
that to me is absolutely amazing. Would you like another simple
recipe to keep you going for another day? Of course you do, so
here it is.
Chicken and gravy
4 Chicken Breast
2 cans of Cream of Chicken Soup
1 c Rice uncooked (again white, brown, instant, or whatever)
2 c water for regular rice (1 ¼ c for instant)
You pour the rice into the crock-pot and then add the water.
You will then gently put the chicken on top of the rice, the
chicken will move the rice a bit and it is no big deal. Then you
pour the soup in cover it up and cook. Cook for 8-9 hours on Low
and 5 on High. Serve with your choice of veggie.
Serves 4.
This recipe cost a little more, but I average about $6, so that
is $1.50 per person. At that price you should be able to stay
under budget every month for food, or just reduce how much you
budget.
I hope you have enjoyed this recipes and look forward to
teaching you more.
