My hubs made one last night that was to die for. (Prices for Cincinnati OH) Green leaf lettuce($1 per lb), pan grilled chicken thighs ($3-5 per lb), rotel tomato/green chilis($2), sour cream($3), and leftover mexican rice($2 viggo). He added a lot of spice to it as well. I'm going to do something similar tonight without the rice. We get 3 meals(1 for hubs, 2 for me) out of the chicken and 6 out of the lettuce. Boneless skinless chicken thighs are pretty cheap, especially if you can catch a sale. We eat them twice a week. We also chop it up and add it with sauteed shallots, mushrooms, garlic and a green veg (broccoli or asparagus). I find that the thighs taste better than the breast which is soo crazy overlarge these days. In a iron skillet the outside gets yummy and crisp even without skin. Add a little cajun blackened seasoning and you are in for a treat.
