Inexpensive and healthy meal. This was in response to someone who had asked for an inexpensive but healthy meal for a tight budget. I suggest using chicken that has no antibiotics or preservatives to really keep it healthy. The cost is just a few pennies more. Even organic chicken on the bone is sometimes cheaper than the conventional chicken breasts.I usually find it each week for under 4 dollars for a pack of 4-5 drumsticks or 2 split breasts or 5 thighs with bone. I have used split breasts with the bone, legs and thighs with the bones for this. Trim off skin first if it is thick and heavy. Taste is simple; nothing fancy but it is good. Very versatile so everything is pretty much an estimate to taste. I cook for just my daughter and i so serving sizes are only for two; can easily be doubled, especially if you can find a large pack of drumsticks. Serve with healthy fresh steamed vegetables. Hope it works for you.
