These recipes are healthy, flavorful and best of all, budget friendly. Each recipe is designed to serve a family of four for just under $15 (less if your pantry is stocked!). The recipes below are versatile and can be modified for different poultry cuts. If you make a substitution, make sure to follow poultry cooking instructions as displayed on the package.

These recipes make use of common herbs, spices and marinades that most home chefs will have on hand. The poultry cuts can be substituted for budget and availability. Side dishes can be mixed and matched to accommodate cuisine, price, and seasonal availability. By selecting one simple, affordable side (grilled corn or sliced melon) to accompany a more elaborate side (fruit salsa or Greek salad), the overall price of ingredients will remain low and close to a $15 range per family meal.

 


Also included are side dishes to complement the flavors in each recipe. Choose one starch/whole grain and one vegetable/fruit to create a nutritionally balanced meal.
