Easy and Inexpensive Weeknight Chicken

Since we’re talking about some of our favorite grocery store finds this week, I thought I’d share my go to recipe for when company is coming, but I’m short on time.

I started making this years ago after reading a recipe in Southern Living Magazine. Over the years it has evolved, but it remains one of the easiest crowd pleasers I make. On top of that, it’s very budget friendly. This entire meal cost under $12, and it feeds my entire family. We have a lot of kids, but it would easily feed four adults.

If you take our advice and buy a rotisserie chicken at Costco, this whole thing will also take you about 15 minutes. Serve it with a salad and some rolls, and you’re done! It also reheats beautifully, making it a fantastic “drop off” dish.
