5 x 5 Series: Day 1

Quote of the Day: "Food is not about impressing people. It’s about making them feel comfortable."~Ina Garten

As college students, we know that time isn't the only factor when it comes to making a meal. After tuition and books, most of us don't have extra cash to spend on lots of fresh ingredients. Over the next 5 days we're going to post 5 easy recipies, each containing 5 ingredients or less! The main ingredient: boneless skinless chicken breasts. These can be found in 5-10 lb bags in the freezer section at your local grocer. Boneless skinless chicken breasts are a delicious (and healthy) addition to any meal that won't break the bank!
