Typical price: Salefork's estimate of an everyday US shelf price for each ingredient. Pick your city to price it from this week's ad.

The amounts listed are small for a full dinner, so this price per serving is likely low. Plan on a side or a bigger portion.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless pork shoulder
  • 14 wooden skewers
  • seasoning salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 cups italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 cups chicken broth

  2. Thread the pork cubes onto 14 skewers and season them with seasoning salt.
  3. Whisk the eggs and milk in a shallow bowl, then place the bread crumbs in a second shallow bowl.
