Again, here is a recipe from Rachael Ray that is both quite high in calories as well as in cost. This recipe contains a lot of basil, so due to that fact, the cost is brought up dramatically. If you can find a good price on basil, the cost of this dish will be considerably reduced. This recipe also contains a couple of other high-priced items such as Pine Nuts, Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese, and a somewhat large amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. These ingredients could probably be replaced by a cheaper hard-rind cheese and a more basic olive oil.

The calories in this recipe are largely brought high by the chicken, the olive oil, the pine nuts and the bread crumbs.
