I'm in charge for cooking for my family tonight and I can cook anything.
I need a simple and delicious recipe. I love to use boneless/skinless chicken, but any other easy recipes that involve other meat is fine too!
Thanks!Any simple dinner recipes?
Below are several ideas for you, the first is my favorite, but not as simple as you may be looking for.
Chicken Quesadillas:
Marinate your chicken breasts in fahita sauce. (I use World Harbor brand...I think that's the name-clear bottle, blue lid-Delicious!) Bake in the oven on 400 degrees until done (about 20 minutes). In the meantime, open 1-2 cans of diced green chilies (depending on your taste.) Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. If you have a quesadilla maker, heat that, otherwise you can use the microwave. Put a soft tortilla shell first, then layer the chicken, cheese, green chilies and bacon bits or crumbled bacon. Place another tortilla shell on top and heat until the cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream.
I also make a dinner where I take pizza dough, spread it out on the pan, put on bologna, or salami, or both, (or any other type of pre-packaged lunch meat you have and/or like) with some cheese, roll it up, put butter and garlic salt on the top, and bake it in a 375 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top, and not doughy inside anymore. Slice it up, and it feeds several people. Potatoes and veggies go good with this meal.
You can also make shephard's pie with 1/2-1 pound ground turkey meat, cooked, mixed with 1-2 cans of creamed corn. Put that in the bottom of a baking pan and spread mashed potatoes on top. I usually put american cheese on top, but you don't have to. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes. Make gravy for people to put on top, if they want it.
I also make what I call ';little pizza's';. I take the buttermilk bisquits that come in the blue can in the refridgerated section. I cook up 1/2 pound of turkey meat (but you can do it without the meat) and mix it with tomatoe sauce that I make myself. Put a little bit of the meat/sauce mixture, or the sauce, on each one with a little bit of velveeta, mozzarella, or american cheese on top. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 6-8 minutes (keep an eye on it so they don't burn.) Two cans of biscuits, make 20 little pizza's, served with potatoes and a veggie. Yum!
Hope this helps!!!Any simple dinner recipes?
Chicken Helper. I know the stigma that goes with Hamburger Helper, but I am telling you Chicken Helper the fettuccine Alfredo one is so delicious. I hate Hamburger Helper but the Chicken Helper is so good and all you need is 1-1 1/2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast, milk, water, butter. The directions are so easy.
Stauffers Lasagna, bake and serve. Mixed salad from veggie aisle, and garlic breadsticks, also heat and serve! Easy...
Ground turkey cooked in a fry pan..mashed potatoes...salad with avocados
Boil the chicken in a mixture of pineapple %26amp; orange juice (1/4 cup of each for every 2 pieces of chicken). Add whatever seasonings your family likes. (I usually add a bit of hot sauce.) You can cook it as slowly or as quickly as you like. Cook until the juice has boiled down to a glaze. Rice or couscous makes a great side, along with some fresh fruit.
This easily doubles
Fast Chicken Marsala

Cut each chicken breast in half, and pound between layers of plastic wrap until each is about 1/4-inch thick. Season lightly with salt and white pepper and dredge in flour.
