Debt Free Recipes Butter Chicken Rice & Beans Recipe

If you are at all into Dave Ramsey’s debt free plan, you know all about rice and beans and beans and rice.  When we were in our debt free hustle from 2010-2012 we ate our fair share of rice and beans to keep our grocery budget low.  But when you eat these food for several days, weeks, months or years it can get old and bland.   That’s why I’m showing you how we made our debt free push even easier to swallow- literally!  I’ve got more recipes on the way but here is one to get you started!

This one is called Butter Chicken but you don’t actually use chicken- check it out!

Ingredients:
  • Store Brand Chicken Broth (cooking the rice in broth gives it a delicious chicken flavor without having to buy chicken)
  • Store Brand Brown Rice
  • Store Brand Garbanzo Beans
  • Archer Farms Butter Chicken Simmer Sauce (Target)
  • Store Brand Sweet Peas
  • Onion
  • Chutney

    Back in college I looked up nutrition for a basic diet that also feeds the brain. Pretty much what you ended up with – peas, carrots, rice and beans. With spices even from $1 stores, and making broth with frozen cut-ends of veggies, one can eat fairly well indeed. I like the idea of pairing it with some cheap eats like chicken. The local Mexican Meat-Market here in Balcones Hts, TX is selling Chix Qtrs 29 cents a #. woohoo

      Gralan, I pass by those meat-markets all the time but have never thought to stop in and check out prices. Your comment about feeding the brain is cool too! Thanks for sharing that with us!
