Any one got ideas for dinner tonight

Question

My boyfriend has been away all week and I'd like to cook something nice but EASY.. Something with chicken or mince recipes would be great

Answer 1

I know Spag' Bol is a bit of a culinary cliche, but it's easy and uses mince. If he's been away as long as a week, dare I suggest that he's going to need some red meat for later?

BOLOGNESE SAUCE

Enough for spaghetti for 2

INGREDIENTS

2 cloves of garlic

2 onions

1 tablespoon of olive oil

500g of minced beef

400g tin of plum tomatoes*

1 beef stock cube

2 teaspoons of oregano or mixed herbs

Ground pepper to taste

METHOD

Peel the garlic and chop it into tiny pieces. Peel the onions and chop them into tiny pieces.

Put the oil into a frying pan on a medium heat. Add the garlic and onion. Fry the garlic and onion for about 2 minutes. Stir frequently to stop it sticking.

Put the meat into the pan and fry for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring all the time. By this time, it should have broken up and be an even colour, with no pink bits.

Open the tin of tomatoes. Pour the juice into the pan. Chop the tomatoes while they are still in the can (it’s easier than chasing them around the pan).

Pour the chopped tomatoes into the pan. Crumble the stock cube into the pan. Add the herbs. Season with the pepper. Mix thoroughly. Continue to cook, stirring as the mixture boils, until the sauce has reduced.

ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES

Use minced lamb, pork or turkey instead of minced beef.

Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.

TIPS

Always “take the pasta to the sauce”. Put the cooked pasta in the pan with the sauce and stir together until thoroughly coated.

* Plum tomatoes can be used either whole or chopped. It is difficult to stick chopped tomatoes back together again if you need to use them whole.

Answer 3

Ziti Chicken and Broccoli

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

1 pound dry ziti pasta

3 cloves garlic, chopped

2 tablespoons butter

1 pint heavy cream

1 (10.75 ounce) can chicken broth

1 cube chicken bouillon

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoons cornstarch

2 large heads broccoli, steamed

1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts in water

6 breaded and fried skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, chopped



DIRECTIONS

In a large pot of salted boiling water, place pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until pasta is al dente. Drain.

In a large skillet, saute garlic in butter over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and bouillon. Add Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Add cornstarch (adjust amount to thicken sauce to your liking). Simmer all together for about 20 minutes.

Once sauce is cooked and thickens, add broccoli and artichoke hearts, stir all together and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Once sauce is done, put cooked ziti pasta in a large bowl, pour sauce over pasta and toss to coat and mix. Then add the chicken pieces and mix all together. Serve. Delicious!

Answer 4

I'd try Eritrean lamb stew, it works well with chicken but lamb is best, it's very easy to make and is absolutely delicious-spicy but not hot. You'll need to make some (also easy to make) berbere sauce before you start so follow the first link for that recipe and don't be put off by the list of ingredients, just go to the supermarket before you start. The second link is the recipe for the stew-enjoy!

Answer 5

Chicken in a big pot with whatever veg you have left in your fridge (tomatoes, courgettes, whole garlic cloves), a splash of olive oil and any basil if you have it and put in the oven for an hour.  You can tip some cannellini or red kidney beans in there too for a more substantial meal or make some mashed potatoes or smash to go with it.

For mince, what about that old scottish favourite mince and tatties.  Brown your mince, drain the fat, fry it with an onion, some diced carrots (optional) 1/2 pint of beef stock.  Boil potatoes - serve and enjoy (can do some frozen peas in the microwave to go with it too).

put a few more garlic and herbs (fresh rosemary, thym) inside the chicken...put some olive oil...salt and pepper...

oven for 2 hours... poor a small glass of luck warm water over the chicken every 20-25 minutes...so the chicken is nice and tender. (alternatively, you can use the sauce from the plate, and poor it back over the chicken).
