Recipe for family of 4-5 for under $3.

Cube your chicken breast (or thighs etc) that you found on "quick sale." Put 1 package of Tierra Linda spaghetti to cook ($.33 and follow package directions). In a sauce pan melt 2 tablespoons of butter, add 1 can of cream of mushroom (cream of celery or chicken will work too ($.65 HCF brand), and add 2/3 of a can of milk (use your cream of mushroom can etc to measure) to the mixture, then add your cooked chicken and let simmer slowly for 10 min. Drain your cooked pasta. Add the cream chicken over the Spaghetti.
