Bargain Meal of the Week: Safeway Deals

There is a pretty good deal on chicken this week (.79/lb) and Cara Mia marinated artichokes are $1.
.
An idea for a meal idea with these items would be Chicken, Artichoke, and Parmesan Sandwiches.
.
This recipe calls for chicken breast, but I think it can be easily modified to use whole chicken that is roasted instead of breaded.
.
I would serve with a side salad with black olives and Italian dressing. Bagged salads are on sale for .45 after coupon this week! See the list of Safeway deals right HERE.
