Tonight we decided to do Italian- our favorite type of food. Who doesn't love a good pasta? Pasta is always a cheap route to go with meals, and you can buy the noodles in bulk! This particular dish is called Creamy Italian Chicken & Orzo Skillet. It fills you up real quick, and you'll probably have plenty of leftovers for later. :)
What you'll need:
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces-$2.50
1 small zucchini, chopped-$1.00
1 tub of Philadelphia Italian Cheese & Herb Cooking Creme-$2.25
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes-$1.00
2 cups of cooked orzo pasta-$1.00
Total Cost: $7.75 (You'll easily serve 4 people if not more out of this.)
Just so you can see the amazing deal on this cheap meal. Price per person is 1.93. Whoo!
**An optional part of this meal is Sister Schuber's Yeast Rolls. They are soooo good!**
Directions:
1.) Take out your cutting board and begin to chop up the tomatoes and zucchini.
2.) Cut the chicken into bite size pieces.
3.) Begin cooking the Orzo pasta.
4.) Add a quarter size amount of oil to a nonstick skillet. Begin to cook the chicken and zucchini on medium heat 6-7 minutes or until chicken is done.
5.) Add the Philadelphia Italian Cheese and Herb Cooking cream & chopped tomatoes into the skillet.
6.) Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
7.) Serve the chicken, zucchini, creme, and tomatoes over the pasta.
Prep time: 15 minutes. Total Time: 25 minutes.
