My aunt found me this and I can't wait to try these out! These are $5 and under! Yay!

Yummy recipe

I saw this on Rachael Ray the other day and decided to make it I had my husband pick up the chicken for $3.99 at the end of the day managers speacial at Krogers and I pulled it apart while it was hot and then stuck it in the fridge and made the next day. This is one of my familys absolute favorites. I used Pillsbury and had coupons to make it even cheaper but I am sure you could use the off brand as well. It was absolutely wonderful and we will be having it all the time as it makes quite a bit enough for left overs and some for my husbands lunch the next day!!
