Jasmine rice, baked beans, chicken strips, any choice of sauce. Probably about a $5 meal at most, and it’s filling. I have not gotten tired of it once.

I know it’s pretty basic, but after realizing I’ve been spending way too much on ordering out and fast food, I’ve really tried to cut back that expense significantly and eat affordable meals. It just consists of:
Canned baked beans. The big cans are really cheap and I just put a few spoonfuls on the plate.
Jasmine rice. Again, as we all know it’s super cheap and can get plenty of uses out of a bag.
Chicken strips or other protein of choice. This is the bulk of the cost. I’ve tried a couple different brands so far, and just the Tyson chicken strips have been the best. I’m sure there are cheaper options too. I get like 4 meals out of a bag though.
I’ve been liking the bottles Chick-fil-A sauce, especially the Polynesian flavor. I was surprised by how good it was, but I’ve probably been to Chick-fil-A twice in my life, so their bottles sauce is all I know.
Also yes, it needs a vegetable. I’ve added things like steamed carrots and broccoli, but the photo is from the first time I made this.

It’s also by no means healthy, but I’m still pretty active, so that’s helping to equalize it a little, and cutting back on my ridiculous spending on food is taking priority for now 🙂
