Even the cheapest lunch meats have risen to astronomical prices. Beef bologna is ringing in at an astounding $8 a pound. Add in condiments, veggies and bread and it becomes an unaffordable option. The better lunchmeats, without nitrates, ere upwards of $16 a pound. The good news is you can make your own for much less.
I can purchase chicken breasts for $2.56 a pound. I add a little seasoning, marinade or both and viola I have homemade lunch meat. There are other options besides chicken, but we are going to focus on chicken today.
 |
| Choose your favorite seasonings. |
 |
| Choose your favorite marinade. |
 |
| Or both, and let it sit in the fridge overnight or longer. The longer the wait time, the more flavorful the lunch meat will be. I used salt, pepper and chipotle for this batch. |
 |
| Pan fry, grill or bake the chicken breasts. Do not overcook or the meat will be dry. My favorite is cracked pepper and season salt. |
 |
| Slice it as thick or thin as you like. |
 |
| And enjoy fresh healthy lunch meat and for less than $2.60 a pound. |
Make your sandwich your way and serve it with sides like potato salad, Kimchi, sliced fruit, soup or a garden salad. This is a great method to save money, and it is an easy meal to make and take on the go. I encourage you to try it out.
Take care,
Mrs. Smith
