I don’t know who comes up with serving sizes and recipes but 1 1/2# of chicken does not serve 8 people.

We went to dinner at the in-laws tonight and she made 1 1/2# of chicken for 7 of us. That came out to half a small chicken breast each. I consider myself a small eater and I had about half as much as I would normally take (3/4-1 chicken breast is the norm for me). How could you ever get your real protein requirements by eating half a chicken breast? The flat kind not the huge plump ones.

I ate half a flat chicken breast, 2 ears of corn and probably a cup of broccoli and cauliflower. I had a piece of depression cake for dessert. I’ll have to eat again soon or I’ll be too hungry to sleep.

I’m fighting that battle every day as chicken is very scarce in the grocery stores in my area. When I do find it they are either selling parts of the chicken that I didn’t know existed or it’s two tiny ass filets at a jacked price. So I’ve relying on my supplements and other meats when I can get them like pork or steak.

Really? Here they’ve jacked up the prices of beef. Ground beef is $7-10 a pound from what our cousin said. Cash saver had 2# of chicken breasts for $5 when I went today. Lots of it too but the beef was almost gone as was the pork. I plan to use the 6# of chicken I bought in the same recipe and see how many meals it lasts. The oldest girl and hubby are bigger eaters so I’m guessing two meals.
