A great meal at a bargain price. This meal costs $6.64 and serves 4-6 people.

What you will need:

4 chicken thighs, washed and cleaned
1 onion, chopped
10 small red potatoes, cut in half
8 oz mushrooms, chopped
1 tablespoon Seasame seed oil (about $2 at your local Asian market)
1 teaspoon of garlic
1/2 teaspoon of cayene pepper (or less if you want it mild)
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
1 tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette
dash of chili powder
2 tablespoons of Seasame ginger marinade
1 teaspoon of rosemary
salt and pepper to taste

1. For the chicken marinade combine seasame seed oil, Seasame marinade, balsamic vinaigrette, dash of chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir. Brush it on the chicken and set aside in a 9 by 13-inch cooking dish for 1/2 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Put a small amount of olive oil in a skillet and place chicken in it skin side down. Cook until the skin is brown and crisp. Return chicken to pan.
2. Place chicken in oven and let it cook until done, about 1/2 hour.
3. In the meantime, place a little olive oil in a pan. Once hot, stir in potatoes. Cook until browned and halfway done, about 7 minutes. Add mushrooms, onions, cayenne pepper, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
4. Cook another 10 minutes or until done.

The dishes should be done at about the same time. Serve while hot.
