Last week I used the Philadelphia Cooking Creme - the Santa Fe kind. Looking for something fairly easy to do since my parents were here and kids were running around.
Here's what I used:
1 pound chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
salt & pepper
8oz spiral pasta, cooked al dente
10oz frozen corn
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 container of Philadelphia Cooking Creme, Santa Fe
I salt & peppered the chicken and then cooked it in a skillet on medium. I then added the Philadelphia Cooking Creme, corn, and tomatoes and allowed the creme to melt. When it was sooth and creamy I then added the pasta. Stir it up and it was a meal. Not too shabby. You could get more creative and add black beans and some fresh veggies to make this a really great meal (not that this wasn't a really great meal, but time wise it was quicker than doing those other things. And I didn't have black beans or I would have added them).
End product. |
Cost Breakdown:
Chicken: $1.88/pound
Pasta: FREE
Corn: $1.00
Tomatoes: $.65
Cooking Creme: $2.00
Total Cost: $5.53
Cost per person (3 adults, 1 child): $1.38
We also had 2 servings of adult leftovers. So you really could recalculate this to 5 adult servings and 1 child serving. Which then turns it out to be $.92/serving!!! WOW!
