Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Ready In: 45 Minutes
Servings: 6
"Chicken breasts are breaded with flavorful crumbs, herbs, and Parmesan cheese, then baked for the easiest, quickest chicken dish ever. Serve with a salad and pasta or rice for a scrumptious dinner."
INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast
halves
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. In a bowl, blend the olive oil and garlic. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the oil mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
3. Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.0 -

Check out skinnytaste.com -- She has tons of GREAT recipes (usually under 300 cal per serving) and most can be cheaply made.
I agree with a previous poster about chicken breast. I usually buy the big 2+ pound with bone, boil it in a pot with some onion, celery, bay leaves, and carrots. Once it's finished I shred or cube it and use later for soups, sandwiches, salads, casseroles, etc. Then you can save the broth; you won't have to spend $ on the canned broth and this is natural! Frozen tilapia is also great. (I usually catch it on sale at Kroger for about $3.50 a bag and stock up!)
If you've not tried freezer cooking I would recommend that also. It takes some prep time up front, but since you're buying things in bulk and then freezing you can save money and SO MUCH time later!0 -
I have a ton of easy and cheap slow cooker meals. I'll post one now and come back later on to post more
3-4 chicken breast
a splash of red wine vinegar(you don't need this if you don't have any)
1/2 bag of baby carrots or 3-4 carrots chopped into sticks
1 butternut squash cut into cubes
2tbsp italian seasoning
Place chicken in crockpot add a splash of red wine vinegar. In separate bowl mix veggies and seasoning pour on top of chicken cook on low for 8-9 hours or high for 4-5 hours
It's not weird at all. Chicken cooks very quickly - actually, so does ground beef, fish, and some pork cuts - but it's much nicer when I can toss it in the crock pot (frozen usually) and by the time I come home from work it's finished. Win win!0 -

Coca Cola Chicken (a student staple in China, similar to Teriyaki)
Brown some chicken (I use thighs) with garlic. Toss in a smalll can of coke (regular, not diet) and a few glugs of soy sauce. Simmer for 45 minutes. Near the end of cooking time, increase heat so that the sauce caramelizes into a syrupy mass. Serve with rice or quinoa and cooked veg.0 -

I had this last night. It was super cheap and easy. Consider making several of your meals vegetarian for saving $$$. I bulked my boyfriend's serving of this out with rice and ate mine without
Sweet potato, Red lentil Thai Chilli (from Post Punk Kitcken)
Olive oil (1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons, however much you feel like using)
1 large yellow onion, diced medium
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced medium
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 ½ lbs sweet potatoes cut into ¾ inch chunks
1 cup red lentils
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups vegetable broth
2 15 oz cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1 15 oz can lowfat coconut milk
28 oz can diced tomatoes
½ cup fresh cilantro, plus extra for garnish
Limes for garnish (optional)
Preheat a 4-quart pot over medium heat. Saute onions and pepper in oil with a pinch of salt, for 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and saute a minute more.
Add chili powder, sweet potatoes, lentils, salt and vegetable broth. Cover and bring to a boil. Let it boil for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. When lentils are cooked and sweet potatoes are tender, add the remaining ingredients and heat through.
Taste for salt and seasoning, top with cilantro and lime and serve!0 -
Try skinnytaste.com. I can vouch that most of her recipes taste awesome and can be done relatively cheap! I always make extra and then portion them out, freeze them for lunches throughout the week or month!
