This is a recipe that my family will eat a couple times per month.  We had it last night for dinner in fact. 🙂

Total Cost for this Meal:

At Save-A-Lot I bought some bags of brown rice for .79 per bag. I used half a bag for my family = .40
The Chicken was bought at Albertsons for $1.88 lb -I used 1.5 lbs = $2.82
The Can of Pineapple was .79 at Winco — all other ingredients I just always have on hand.
Total cost= $4.01 for my family of 6 for dinner!

This is one of my thrifty weeknight meals. Enjoy 🙂

    Is there a veggie that will go well, and freeze well with this as well?

    Can’t wait to try this one. Our freezer club is going to try some of these but I didn’t see the number of servings on the recipes? Do you have an average number of servings in mind for your recipes? THANKS!

      Hello Kim, I would say each recipe would feed around 4-6 people depending on how big of portions you have. Each recipe feeds my family for the dinner and sometimes leftovers and there are 6 in my family. My husband and I, two 13 year olds, an 8 year old and a 6 year old.

    Sounds and looks fabulous! Love the real life pics too! Could you please describe how exactly you reheat your frozen meals? You take the ziploc baggies out of the freezer and then…how are you reheating? Any special method for certain meats? Thanks a bunch!!

      Hello Chastity, Usually I take out the frozen ziploc in the morning and put it in the fridge to thaw all day. Then at night I make some rice, and add the honey lime chicken to a wok or larger frying pan and reheat for a few minutes till warm. 🙂

    This is a great idea. The recipes sound lovely. Thank you for sharing. But can I ask… Do you give your family some fresh greens and veg with their meals because it wouldn’t be too healthily only eating the meat and rice etc? I guess some frozen beans and peas etc would be ok with the meal.

      January 8, 2013

      Yes, we either use canned green beans, or corn, frozen vegetables or make a salad usually with every meal. 🙂

    I cook it all up, let it cool a few minutes, add to freezer bag and freeze. Then we just reheat it up and serve over rice another day.

      How do you unfreeze it? Would you let it defrost and then heat it up stovetop?

        June 1, 2016

        Yep, just thaw it in the fridge and heat it up on the stove top! 🙂

    FANTASTIC recipe! All 4 of my kids loved it, and it’s very rare to make a meal they all love! I tried it with pork, too, and didn’t change anything else, and it was just as good (and still super inexpensive!).

    I finally made this for dinner last night. It was delicous despite me wanting to use fresh squeezed lime juice and getting limes that didn’t have any juice in them! It was still yummy! Thanks again!!

    We ate this tonight for dinner. I loved it…My kids finally warmed up to it. At first they weren’t sure what was in there but after tasting it they liked it. Hubby not home yet to try it. I added onions in and carmelized them just after I cooked the chicken. I maybe would put them in with it but it was an afterthought. I think this would be a fabulous base to add anything you might see in mongolian. Asparagus cuts would be good, water chestnuts, etc.

      How long will this keep in the freezer? I was wanting to try freezer meals and was wondering how long they typically last in the freezer.
