Cheap Meal of the Week

So my goal is to post one example per week of an inexpensive meal that the whole family will enjoy. This week's meal is stir fried rice with chicken. The entire meal cost my family $3.85 and it fed us for one hearty meal with enough left over for Josiah to have for lunch. I used three chicken breast diced and sauteed up. Next time I make this, I may cut it back to two breasts as three made a lot and I think I could stretch two just fine. I made one cup of white rice (I like to make healthier wild grain rice but we were given a bag of white rice so I am making use of it) which I poured in the wok with a little soy sauce and the diced chicken. I then added carrots and peas from our frozen bags of veggies. I fried up two eggs and tossed those in last. This meal was actually pretty quick to make and definitely a hit with the boys. The egg does not have to be used, would cut the cost down a bit and you would not really miss it but we happen to like it so I added it and the meal was still under $4 (and I factored in the cost of buying rice, even though our rice was free).
