Can someone please suggest a great idea for dinner tonight? Something kind of quick but homeade?

Question

I do not eat beef or pork, so all other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Penne Pasta, buy some fresh pesto sauce (usually near the fresh/refrigerated pasta), then add whatever you like. I like to add chunks of chicken & red peppers. When the pasta is done mix all ingredients together in the pot & the heat from the pasta heats the sauce, etc. Serve immediately. I'm making that tonight. I am not a very good cook & this impresses my boyfriend. lol.

Answer 8

Chicken Salsa Soup

Boil 1lb boneless/skinless chicken breasts until cooked
(this doesn't take long maybe 10 minutes) After that let them cool and chop them into chunks.

Then get a jar of salsa (I like pace chunky salsa)
and 1 can of corn and dump it all into a pot with your chunky chicken and simmer until you like it. I usually put one cans worth of water in also. It just depends how soupy you like it.

also add chicken cooked in the same way if you want.
