Frugal meals

Here's how I made a reduced pack of chicken breast feed myself and DD for two meals! These were reduced to £1.19.

Last night, I sliced one chicken breast horizontally into two pieces, bashed them flatter between two sheets of clingfilm, marinaded them in tikka masala paste and yoghurt then baked them and served with homemade potato wedges and salad.

This is what I did with the remaining breast this evening:

 
Already reduced!
 
 
Cut the breast horizontally and flatten with a rolling pin
between two sheets of clingfilm
 
 
 
Whizz some stale bread in the food processor (or grate) to make breadcrumb.
Add some grated Parmesan and chopped parsley.
 


 
Look at the colour of that yolk! That's why I luuuuuurve my chickens...
Beat the egg.


 
 
Dip each chicken fillet first in the egg then in the breadcrumb mix
 Place in roasting tin and dot with butter. Cook for about 20 minutes.


 
The finished result! Served with homemade yorkie puds and homegrown carrots,
I wish I could say that the potatoes were homegrown but the crop was dire this year!
 
 
A really simple, tasty and cheap meal.

    1. Hi Shara!
      I'm gobsmacked to receive a comment as my blog is only a few days old! Thank you so much for reading.
      Yes, this meal is very yummy and so easy - can be turned into schnitzel if you use pork and a lower fat version could be made with a turkey steak.
      Great to hear from you.
