Baked Chicken
Start with 1 lb. bone-in chicken, either drumsticks or thighs. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle salt & pepper on all the pieces. Place on a foil-lined roasting pan and cook for 40-45 min. This is great because it takes just a few minutes to get ready and while it’s in the oven you’re free to do other things.
Variations:Add Everglades or McCormic’s Grill Mates seasoning along with the salt and pepper.
- Throw in some cut up vegetables (1 in. slices) around the chicken to cook your sides at the same time. Potatoes, carrots, onions, squash, zucchini, etc.
- Coat with your favorite BBQ sauce during the last 10 minutes in the oven.
- Mix 1/8 cup orange marmalade and 1/8 teaspoon of chili-garlic sauce (found in the Asian section) and brush mixture on chicken pieces during last 10 min. of cooking.
- Marinade the chicken in Italian dressing in a Ziploc baggie before baking.
Baked Fish
Again, same idea: prep it, and throw it in the oven.
Tilapia Filets
- Heat oven to 375 degrees and grease baking pan/dish.
- Mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon paprika, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter together.
- Place fish in baking dish and drizzle mixture over the fish.
- Bake uncovered or 15-20 min. until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
You can alternately mix 1 egg and a splash of milk, dredge the fish through it, and coat with bread crumbs, and bake. Shake ‘n bake!
Salmon Filets
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and grease baking dish.
- Mix 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons ginger, ¼ cup maple syrup.
- Place fish in baking dish and brush mixture over the fish.
- Place pineapple slices on top of fish and bake for 15-20 min.
Other Super-Easy/Fast Dinners
- Heat up a can of hearty soup and serve with rolls.
- Perdue Shortcuts cooked and cut chicken (in the meat section near the bakery) – heat and serve
- Ham steaks (located in the same area) – heat on stovetop in a griddle and pour a tiny bit of maple syrup on top during last minute
