$3 Chicken Meals: Delicious, Low-Cost Dishes for Your Family

250+ hearty, healthy recipes that make your family’s tummies happy without emptying your wallet

If you’re like most Americans, it’s a safe bet that a few nights a week you’re having some form of chicken for dinner—a roaster, a stir-fry, a bowl of soup, or a salad topped with chicken. Even if you’re not eating much chicken now, the era of “cheap food” is over. This means chicken is our best buddy for a bargain and, more likely than not, it will be a big part of your diet for many years to come. That’s where $3 Chicken Meals comes in.

Ellen Brown presents more than 250 tried-and-true recipes, none of which take more hands-on time than listening to the evening news—and all of which cost less than $3 per serving for your whole meal. They include everything from rubs, marinades, appetizers, and hors d’oeuvres to soups, salads, and a whole range of main courses—and many feed six people with just a few cups of left-over diced cooked chicken. In short, your taste buds will savor richly flavored foods, all of which can be made on a limited budget.
