Side dish conundrum

Alright,

So as I mentioned in my previous post, I needed a side dish to go with my cheesy potato casserole. while in the process of deciding what I would be cooking with it a few of my friends decided that they wanted to join in on the taste testing for tonights dish. With that said, I now needed something that could feed six people, myself included. I decided chicken would be a good choice so I started looking around the Internet for chicken recipes and came across a crockpot chicken recipe complements of bigoven.com.
So alas, I had yet another shopping trip to do before tonights big dinner. The recipe calls for worcsterchire sauce which, due to a fish allergy from one of my guests, I replaced with soy sauce.I also replaced the cream of celery with cream of chicken and the mushrooms with green beans. I decided to do my shopping at albertsons so here are the numbers:

Keep in mind, these are only the things that I actually needed to buy. Everything else i already had in my kitchen.

Cooking Sherry: $3.49
16oz Frozen Green Beans: $2.19
6 Chicken Breasts: $10.28

Total: $15.96

Here is link to the recipe for the chicken if you would like to take a look:

The chicken is now cooking in the crockpot so we shall see how it will turn out tonight!
