This budget friendly dish (about $3.60 per serving) comes together in under an hour and requires minimal ingredients! This is great for families because instead of riced cauliflower you can serve it with white rice to picky eaters!
1. Add the tomatoes, garlic cloves, onion, chipotle peppers, water, and seasonings to taste to a blender. Blend until smooth.
2. Chop the carrots and potatoes into 1 inch pieces.
3. Season the drumsticks to taste.
4. Lightly grease a pan with oil and add the seasoned drumsticks. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the drumsticks.
