cheap eats under $15: smothered chicken casserole

 

1 box Zatarain's black beans & rice mix ~$3
1 can cream of chicken soup ~$1.50
3 chopped cooked chicken breasts  ~$2.50
(i usually add another 1/2 C boil-in-bag brown rice and 1/2 c water to make the meal go just a bit further)
1. Heat oven to 350.  Spray 9x13 pan with pam.
2. Combine 2-1/4 C water and soup in the 9x13 pan.  pour in zatarain's and chicken.  stir to mix.
3. Bake 35 minutes.  Stir and let sit for about 10 minutes.

As a side, I sauteed garlic and canary peppers in olive oil, added 1 plum tomato and 1 can of corn (~$1.50) , along with corn muffins ($3).  Serves six plus seconds.
