On a Budget Meal

Chicken rice with Pesto and a side of Black Beans and Corn:

Ingredients: Serves 2 

•         2 whole Chicken breast
•         1 bag of Uncle Ben’s Whole Grain Medley rice
•         2 tbsp. of Pesto
•         1 can of Black Beans (drained)
•         1 can of Corn (drained)

Directions:

1.    Take the two Chicken breast and cut into bite size pieces (season to taste), add to pan and thoroughly cook.

2.     Cook Uncle Ben’s rice as directed and add to bowl. Once added to bowl add the Chicken and 2 tbsp. of Pesto. Mix well

3.     In a separate bowl add the Black Beans and Corn. Mix well

This recipe is great for an easy, healthy, and cheap meal. You can even substitute the chicken with beans instead to make it even cheaper. This meal offers a great source of protein from the chicken and beans. Also, the whole grain rice is better than white rice because with whole grain you get the entire grain member, germ, and endosperm.
