Lemon Pilaf Chicken – 138 Calories, 14g Protein, and 52¢ a Serving
Lemon and chicken is one of those combinations that just works. Bright, zesty, and endlessly comforting. This version takes a shortcut that's actually a smart move: a good quality rice pilaf mix forms the base, absorbing all the lemony, herby goodness while the chicken cooks right on top. It's a one‑pot meal that's fast, affordable, and adaptable. Two home cooks have already made it and called it "yummy and satisfying." At 52¢ a serving, it's also one of the cheapest ways to get dinner on the table.
