This delicious meal is a spin off Chicken Parmesan and much easier to make. The cost is a little difficult to calculate because it has quite a few ingredients where only a portion of the package is used. If everything except that optional hot pepper flakes and a salad dressing are purchased new, the total would come to $24.48. However, the cost of just the amount of each ingredient needed to make servings for 4 is significantly less:

Chicken:
$5.24 - chicken
$0.90 - 1/5 grated Parmesan jar
$0.15 - 1/10 jar breadcrumbs
$0.40 - 1/10 bottle olive oil
$0.21 - 1/16 bottle cooking wine

$0.50 - 1/2 box spaghetti

$1.25 - 1/2 jar sauce

Salad:
$1.59 - head romaine
$0.89 - red bell pepper

Total - $11.13!
