I am happy to report that Kona Chicken made the List! Tom thought it was fantastic. I really enjoyed it too. Thomas, on the other hand, wouldn't touch it.
The original recipe came from all recipes, but I have altered it so much I am just going to post it with my alterations.
Kona Chicken
6 chicken breast halves, boneless skinless. ($2.50 - from my stash of cheap chicken )
1/2 cup chopped onion (.13 I price matched a 3# bag of onions for a dollar)
1/2 cup soy sauce (.25 ? just a guess)
3/4 cup water - the recipe called for 1/4 cup of white wine and 1/2 cup of water, but we don't drink wine and I couldn't justify buying it for 1/4 of a cup. You could use apple juice, but I didn't have any of that either.
1/2 cup honey (I didn't have quite enough honey, so I made up the difference with molasses) (no idea, I buy the honey at Sam's in big bottles since I use it for my bread recipe)
ground black pepper to taste
1 clove of garlic, crushed - two or three would have been better. (.25 again, just a guess)
Place chicken into a slow cooker. add onion, soy sauce, water, honey, garlic and pepper and give it a stir or two. Cover, and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours. After cooking, I thickened the sauce with a couple of tablespoons of cornstarch. Serve over steamed rice (.25, .57 for a pound with price matching) with a side of steamed broccoli (1.50? .99 lb for crowns with price matching) for a delicious dinner.
$4.88 if you don't count the honey/molasses, pepper and cornstarch. This was enough for six generous servings. Check out more $5 Dinners at Erin's blog!
