Okay, some may be wondering how this is a budget meal if we’re cooking with fresh herbs and chicken. Depending on who is in your household, you could get 2 meals out of a whole chicken. Also, all the parts that were not added to the pan can be kept aside for making chicken broth.
Regarding the fresh herbs, plant an herb garden or even plant fresh herbs in pots in your kitchen. One $5 dollar thyme plant from a nursery has yielded A LOT of herbs. Been going strong for 3 years and is a bush in my yard.
I’m missing one chicken breast from the pan. Technical error that will be made into chicken nuggets or strips.
