Lemon Pepper Chicken Skillet ($10 meal)

Lemon Pepper Chicken Skillet 1

This is such a pretty dish, kinda hard to believe it only cost $10 to make. But it did. I created this recipe for Sweetbay Supermarket and it had to come in under $10. Feeding a family of four can be easy with Sweetbay Supermarkets fresh ingredients and top-quality meats at low prices.

Another thing I love about this dinner is that it is a one dish meal. That means less for me husband to clean πŸ™‚

I love it when grocery stores have coupons right on their web site. That means I don’t have to run out to the newsstand on Sunday morning in my pajamas to get the newspaper to get the coupons. If you are a Sweetbay Supermarket shopper, did you know they have a great website. Click here to go directly to their coupon page.

    Yes, this is so good! Picky husband loved it too! Was able to make extra that night and took two pieces to work. Coworkers loved it too. The meat was so tender and juicy. AND…. I spent $3 more and was able to buy much more chicken thighs. Somehow I knew this was going to be good!
