Pens! sent me an article on the financial (and health) benefits of roasting your own lunch meat, and I since roasting is my favorite way to cook (besides pan frying of course) I decided to go for it. So since being frugal is important too let me tell you this: Organic chicken legs and thighs are really really cheap, especially the legs. 5 legs should cost right around 3 bucks, and 6 thighs is usually 5 bucks. I also found organic breasts on sale for 7.99 for two FULL breasts (including tenders). So for 17 bucks, I had enough organic, pasture raised chicken for 4 entrees able to serve at 3-4 people, plus left over for sandwiches, which equals about 1.00 per person. Anyway, one of the ways I prepared some of this chicken was roasting it with some organic root vegetables:
The root vegetables in this dish are sweet potatoes, red potatoes, carrots, parsnips, red onion and garlic. See that breast? Lunch meat. Yum.
