Roots of a Southern Kitchen

Budget Bite Series

The prices on these meals will, of course, depend on where you live and what store you shop in, but they surely won’t break the bank! Also, I am choosing not to include things like seasonings and essentials like butter and oil for cooking because I assume most people have these things in their home!

*Prices are all from Walmart, but will vary depending on what store you shop at. Most meals will serve 4*

Ingredients:

• 1 can chicken- $1.34
• 1 cup white rice from 5 lb bag ($3.34)- $0.37 per cup
• 1 can cream of chicken soup- $0.68
• 1 cup chicken broth from 32 oz carton ($1.37)- $0.35
• 1 pack frozen broccoli- $1.16
• 1 velveeta cheese packet (3 pack $3.28)- $1.09
• Seasonings of choice!

Steps:

1. Steam broccoli then chop into bite-sized pieces.
2. Mix all ingredients together and bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 min or until rice is tender and most liquid is absorbed.

It can’t get easier than that! And a meal for 4 at only $4.99? That’s a win!
