Thanks to those of you who sent your recipe ideas last week! And it’s not too late…for more information on how to get your recipe featured on the $5 Dinner Challenge, click here.
Last week I stashed the chicken breasts that I bought for $1.79/lb into the freezer in different baggies with different marinades. For tonight’s dinner, I just took the chicken out of the freezer and let it marinate while it thawed in the fridge.
Quick and simple!
