I found this great website that ISU Extension does. I love State University Extensions because they always have great information. This recipe looks so simple and ISU Extension states it’s only $0.82 per person!
Serves: 8
Serving size: 1 cup
Cost per serving: $.82
Ingredients
- 2 15-ounce cans diced tomatoes (Mexican-style)

- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
Instructions
- Add tomatoes, beans, corn, broth, garlic, chili powder, cumin (if desired), and pepper in large saucepan.
- Remove and discard any visible fat from chicken. Cut chicken into large chunks and add to the saucepan. Heat to boiling, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, or until chicken is tender.
- Remove the chicken and place on a plate; use forks to shred the chicken. Return the shredded chicken to soup.
