One-Pan Lemon Herb Chicken and Rice in a skillet

Does this sound familiar? It's 5pm, everyone's hungry, and you're staring at the fridge wondering what to make. Meal planning was supposed to fix this — but instead it just became another item on an already-long to-do list.

This week's recipe fixes exactly that. One pan, 35 minutes, and it's built entirely around deals we found at your local stores — so you're saving money without any extra effort.

🌟 Featured Recipe

One-Pan Lemon Herb Chicken & Rice

⏱ 35 min🍽 4 servings💰 ~$12 vs. takeout

Season bone-in chicken thighs with lemon zest, garlic, rosemary, and olive oil. Sear in an oven-safe skillet until golden, then add rinsed long-grain rice, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Cover and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes. One pan, one oven, one grocery list.

The chicken thighs do the heavy lifting — they stay juicy even if you overbake slightly, and at this week's H-E-B price, you're feeding four people for under $3 in protein costs.

💡 This Week's Tips & Deals

🛒

H-E-B chicken thighs are $1.49/lb this week — buy extra and freeze for next week.

🥦

Kroger has broccoli 2-for-$3 — pairs perfectly as a side for this dish.

💡

Long-grain rice works best here. Skip the instant rice — it gets mushy in the oven.
