Something quick and yummy for dinner?

Question

I need an idea of what I can make for dinner for me and the hubby.

He is allergic to tomato and he is lactose and tolerant and he hates pasta. So any ideas without any of these things would be great thanks.

Answer 1

rice with chicken and potatoe salad

or  tuna fish with rice and chicken or macoroni and cheese

Answer 2

HOW ABOUT SOME NICE FRIED CHICKEN, OVEN ROASTED POTATOES WITH ROSEMARY AND THYME, AND A SALAD OR SOME TYPE OF VEGIES, AND SOME VANILLA ICE CREAM TOPPED WITH SOME TYPE OF SWEET LIQUOR, ONLY A TABLESPOON OR TWO FOR EACH, CHAMBORD, A RASP LIQUOR..KAHULA, OR FRANGELICO, OR A GOOD BRAND OF CHOCOLATE SYRUP TOPPED WITH A MINT LEAF.

Answer 3

Lemon chicken scallopini with mashed potatoes made with non-dairy creamer.  Non-dairy creamer (the kind for your coffee, aka CREMORA) is AMAZING in mashed potatoes and it is lactose free.  Score!

Get a few red skin potatoes, some chopped garlic, and some cremora.

Put 1 cup water into the microwave for 1 minute to heat.  At 3-4 heaping spoonfuls of creamora to the water and stir fully.  Add that to your potatoes with garlic, salt and pepper and mash.

Lemon Chicken Scallopini

Dredge your chicken in a bit of *seasoned* flour and fry in olive oil.

Doesn't have to be fully cooked, just browned.

Store chicken in oven at 300 degrees.

Put 1/2 cup white wine (optional) into pan and let cook for 1 minute until alcohol cooks out.  Add in 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter (1 tablespoon won't hurt him), garlic, and the juice from 1-2 lemons.  Add in some chopped flat leaf parsley if you have it.  Dried works ok too.

Put chicken back into sauce and stir all around.

Simmer on low for about 5 mins.

Add in capers and diced tomatoes if you wish.

Serve together.

Yum!

Or, does he like MUSHROOMS?

______________________________________...

Go to the store and get some marsala wine, and make chicken marsala.  If he likes mushrooms, he'll love the flavor of chicken marsala.  It is sooooooooo good.

Answer 4

In a baking dish put 1 cup of rice, i can cream of mushroom, fill up that can with hot water and pour that in. mix till blended. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken  breast season them, lay them on top of uncooked rice mixture. Cover with foil and bake for 50min at 350%. Don't check it or open the oven till 50 min. After that check the rice to make sure its soft if not put back in for 10 min at a time. I add cheese on top but since he cant have cheese just omit. Its very very good healthy and easy.

Answer 5

What I had for dinner last night - I used my crock pot, but you don't have to.

Pork loin cooked in pork gravy, skillet potatoes, and fresh beans from the garden.

In the crock pot, dinner was cooking while I was at work, and so tender it was hard to cut.  It won't be quite that tender in the oven, but should only take about 30 min, and in that time you can get the potatoes and beans done.

Answer 9

Dijon Garlic Chicken Packets

45 min | 15 min prep |

SERVES 6

Ingredients

2 large carrots, cut into matchstick size

2 white potatoes, sliced very thin

1 large yellow onion, sliced thin

6 boneless skinless chicken b*****s

1/2 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon tarragon

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon low sodium chicken broth

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

Directions

1IMPORTANT: Take care to slice the vegetables THINLY so that they will be cooked at the same time as the chicken when the timer goes off.

2Tear off 6 pieces of foil about 12 x 16 each.

3With the shiny side facing up, portion out the matchstick sized carrots in the CENTER of each piece of foil.

4Then carefully fan out 4-6 of the thin potato slices atop each of the carrot 'piles'.

5Then place one or two of the thin onion slices atop each of the carrot/potato 'piles'.

6Then flatten out (with your meat mallet) each chicken breast JUST large enough so you can place each one atop each of the carrot/potato/onion 'piles' covering them completely; Everything should be nicely hidden under that chicken!

7Now for the sauce---Mix together the mustard, pepper, tarragon, lime juice, chicken broth and minced garlic.

8With a small spoon, carefully add some of the sauce equally atop all chicken b*****s.

9Now you need to LOOSELY seal the foil packets but do NOT fold them flat.

10By folding them securely, but loosely, you should have a pocket of empty space around the food inside; This is important because steam will be created and THAT is what cooks the food.

11Place the sealed packets in a 13 x 9 pan or on a 15 x 10 jelly roll pan.

12Bake them in a 400° oven for 30 minutes.

13To serve, simply place each packet on a dinner plate and all your guests need to do is cut a slit in the foil to access their meal!

Answer 10

Grill some boneless skinless chicken b*****s, or broil them...you can use them plain or marinated in some balsamic vinegar and olive oil, or some terriyaki sauce; put together a great green salad with all sorts of veggies: carrots, cucumbers, radishes, green squash, onions, mushrooms, etc and slice the chicken over the salad..serve with your favorite dressing and maybe some seasoned croutons....

Or make baked potatoes and grill a steak.
