Simple honey mustard chicken sandwich

This recipe almost needs no instructions: chicken sandwich with grilled onions and honey mustard. Where it sounds ultra simple, it is! However, it tastes really good and is pretty cheap to make.

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 lb skinless chicken breast per sandwich
  • Wheat hamburger bun
  • 1 Tbsp Beaver brand honey mustard
  • 1/8 large, sweet, yellow onion
  • 1 Tsp margarine or butter

Instructions:
  1. In a skillet start cooking the chicken and cover with a lid. No need to use oil as the chicken will cook in its own natural juices.
  2. While the chicken starts cooking, cut the onion into thin slices.
  3. Let the chicken cook until it is nearly white throughout with just a bit of pink.
  4. Drop the margarine or butter into the skillet and let melt.
  5. Place the slices of onion into the margarine or butter and mix until the onion is thoroughly covered.
  6. Saute the onion for until it is golden brown.
  7. Take the bun and lay it down in the skillet where the margarine or butter has coated the skillet.
  8. Let sit for about 2 minutes.
  9. Place the onion on the bottom bun, followed by the chicken, and then add as much mustard as you like.
  10. Top with the other bun and eat.

My wife, who doesn't even usually like mustard, loves the taste of Beaver brand honey mustard as do I. I find that no matter how much I put on the sandwich, it still tastes really good.

Cost breakdown:
1/4 skinless chicken breast - $0.80
1 wheat bun - $0.25
1 Tbsp mustard - $0.10
1 Tsp butter or margarine - $0.01
1 small, sweet, yellow onion - $0.40 (good for more than 4 sandwiches)
===========================================================================
Total estimated cost per sandwich: $1.26.

So eat up and enjoy!
