What are your go to dinners?

Question

I’m looking for something quick, easy, and fairly healthy. I find we eat the same things every week, so I am looking for some new dinner ideas that can be made in an hour or less.

Answer

Chicken alfeedo pasta
Ingredients 
*1 pack of pasta ( I use penne/fettuccine)
* 1 quart half and half or heavy whipping cream 
* 2 pieces skinless/boneless chicken breast 
* grated Parmasan cheese
*salt/black pepper/olive oil
*broccoli or mushrooms(sauted or air fried with a little salt/black pepper/garlic powder, and olive oil)
Directions:
1) Cook pasta according to package, (al dente) drain and set aside
2) thinly slice chicken breast, season with cajun spices or salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and (chili or cayenne powder optional)
3) in a large frying pan/pot, warm olive olive then add chicken to cook for a few minutes on each side until its cooked and a golden color. Add 4 chopped/shredded garlic cloves. Stir with chicken for 40- 60 seconds. Put the heat to low.
4) add a little more than half of the heavy whipping cream or half and half( about maybe 60-65% of the container), directly on to the chicken.
5) add black pepper and a generous amount of grated Parmasan cheese to the chicken and sauce.
6) add your already cooked broccoli or mushroom or both and already cooked pasta. Mix all ingredients together well on medium heat. 
7)turn heat off, serve immediately 
* you can garnish with fresh chopped parsley, chopped green onions, and pettite diced/chopped tomatoes (all optional) 
* you can add different seasoning to your liking
* you can make this recipe with shrimp instead of chicken.
*You can add more/different veggies i.e black olives, peas, colored bell peppers etc. 
* it may seem complicated but it actually is very easy and quick. I prepare it in one hour.
* I don't use exact measurements since i just add everything by my eye measurements and taste, so i tried my best to give you accurate directions and ingredients to the best of my ability. You will most likely have left overs for lunch or even dinner. 
Enjoy!

Not everyone likes Tuna but my family loves tuna muffins! It's an English muffin cut in half and slightly toasted. Then topped with a slice of tomato, a pile of Tuna salad (Tuna, Mayo, celery, onion, relish, black ovlies) then topped with Shredded cheddar. Stick it in the oven just to let the cheese melt. I didn't release how odd it was until I made it the first time for my husband and he looked at me like a crazy person. Haha. Guess I just grew up with it. But he likes it too!!

Answer

I poach or bake chicken on Sundays then shred it to use for various meals through the week.  I don't season it until I decide what I want bc sometimes I may want a buffalo chicken salad or wrap.  Sometimes I may use it in tacos.  
Sheet pan meals with a protein and vegetable are easy.

Answer

I do a lot of roasts since Im a SAHM, I can throw it in the oven after lunch covered with a little water and forget about it eg roasted chicken thighs with potatoes and carrots, roasted London broil. We do burgers usually weekly. Breakfast for dinner eg hashbrowns and omlettes. I have a stovetop griller and you can do grilled chicken breast, grilled zucchini, grilled salmon etc. Spaghetti and meatballs are easy too.

Answer

Tonight I made chicken tenderloins in the air fryer seasoned with ranch seasoning, rice, and field peas. It took maybe 30 minutes.

Answer

Our kids love chicken quesadillas, so we make those almost weekly. We use canned chicken so it’s even easier. Pan frying fish is pretty quick and healthy, especially if you don’t do a batter. We like salmon that way. Pan fried veggies are pretty easy too.
