Quick, budget AND low-fat. Who could want more?

This is not even a recipe; it's too simple to call it that. It's just an idea to get some cheap food onto a plate then into a hungry mouth.

One large chicken breast feeds two people. Add some salad and a few basic pantry items, and you've got yourself a cheap, low-fat meal, baby!

I take a chicken breast and slice it in half lengthways, so that I end up with what looks like two thin chicken breasts.

I fry these in a teensy bit of olive oil until golden and cooked through, then transfer to an oven tray. I top the chicken with some bottled tomato pasta sauce and a little cheese. Sometimes I add a little chopped ham, too. Then, I simply pop it in the toaster oven (or a normal grill or oven could be used) until the cheese is melted and golden.

I serve this on pasta with salad. When I'm really being cruel to myself, I cut out the pasta. This dinner seriously takes less than 15 minutes! Hooray!
