Happy Labor Day everyone! We have been looking forward to a relaxing long weekend at home for a while and I'm so happy to be celebrating the end of summer in Wilmington. I've conjured up a healthier spin on the traditional cookout hot dog to celebrate on Monday.
This week Harris Teeter has their 2.5 lb bags of frozen chicken breasts on sale for B2G3. This is usually the only time that the price of boneless chicken breasts dips below the butcher department price of $1.99/lb. The total for all 5 bags (which you must purchase to get the price) is $21.98. This breaks down to a cost of $1.75/lb so I suggest stocking up and having chicken to eat on for weeks to come. If you have been following this blog for a while or know me and my husband personally then you are aware that this type of sale on chicken breasts is almost comparable to winning the lottery!
Tips for the menu:
- The Broccoli Slaw recipe is doubled so store it in an air-tight container so you can eat it with both the Chicken Caprese Wraps and Barbecue Chicken Flatbreads.
- The Chicken Caprese Wraps and Barbecue Chicken Flatbreads both call for cooked and shredded chicken breasts. For better preparation for both recipes, cook the number of chicken breasts called for in a slow cooker on low setting for 6-8 hours. Remove chicken from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred apart. Store the shredded chicken in an air-tight container and you will already have all of the cooked chicken you need when you go to prepare these recipes. Since you are already buying a large amount of chicken this week, this method will save you from spending $5 on a rotisserie chicken as well.
