Recently purchased at a local Country
Mart: 1.6 pounds (725 grams) of boneless chicken breasts – enough
for six servings (112 grams) at a cost of only $2.70. A price that
worked out to $1.69 per pound. A pretty good deal in my book!
As I like to enjoy numerous recipes
that use chicken breasts as main ingredient, I will admit to being a
little nervous about buying any due to the bad press the recent
culling of millions of chickens has produced. My fear was that the
cost of chicken, eggs and egg products would soar. Well, so far, that
hasn't been the case!
And at just 118 calories per serving, I
can afford to throw together a very nutritious combo of chicken,
broccoli and mushrooms to enjoy for an evening meal! That is one of
my favorites and all three items can be quickly prepared in a steamer
(about 18 minutes).
And while the price of large eggs has
certainly gone up, you can still by a dozen for under four bucks!
