chicken breasts really aren't that expensive. honestly no healthy foods are expensive except for the 10% that say "HEALTHY ORGANIC LEAN ETC" all over the packaging, aren't even all that good for you, and are 900x the price. coincidentally those are the same products that everyone assumes are the only healthy foods in the store so it's an easy thing to believe.

a box of 10 individually wrapped chicken breasts is usually about $10, and it's cheaper than that if you just get a package of them. a whole rotisserie chicken goes for about $5 at sam's club and is good for 3-4 big meals.

spaghetti isn't especially good for you but noodles and sauce are stupid cheap

one of my favorite things to make is chicken breast+spaghetti sauce+shredded cheese+bacon in the oven, then put it on some light bread w/ light sour cream
