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.
