This dad is an idiot. The “breaded chicken tenderloin” is literally 4 TIMES the price of an equal amount of chicken breasts and breadcrumbs from their local grocer. If you married a wife too lazy or stupid to know how to bread and cook chicken cutlets in a pan (”shake and bake”? hello?) then you deserve to go broke.
I watch the ads for chicken thighs at around 99 cents/pound.
BUT the big trays-—cook in crockpot——freeze some for later.
