Quick Sesame Chicken (who doesn't have about 10 mins?)

2 whole boneless chicken breasts
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 scallions, tops and bottoms, cut into small slices
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
4 tablespoons vinegar, wine or lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste

Mix the oil and sliced onions in a microwave-safe cooking dish. Cover with wax paper and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 minutes until soft. Divide, wash and dry the chicken halves. After the onions have cooked, remove from microwave and add the seeds, liquid of choice, and salt and pepper. Mix well. Roll each chicken breast in the mixture and place in the mixture. Cover with the wax paper and cook on HIGH for 3 minutes. Remove from oven and turn the chicken over once. Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.

(Also with a quick rice in a boil bag and some frozen veggies in the micro steamer on high and the whole meal is quick and healthy for the whole family)

Answer 3

I like to make Parmesan-crusted Tilapia, which is a recipe I found in Rachael Ray's magazine. It is easy and doesn't require much.

3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspooons paprika
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
4 tilapia fillets (about 1 pound total)
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 400. In a shallow dish, combine parmesan cheese, paprika, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle fish with olive oil and coat in cheese mixture. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Serve with lemon.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aNC6j

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

20-Minute Peking Duck:

Here's a simplified--and delicious--Peking duck with flour tortillas standing in for traditional thin pancakes.

2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
2 (8-ounce) packages boneless duck breast halves, thawed and skinned
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons Sriracha (hot chile sauce, such as Huy Fong)
4 (6-inch) flour tortillas
1/2 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut lengthwise into 8 strips
2 green onion tops, cut into thin strips
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add duck to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook an additional 3 minutes on each side or until done. Cut duck diagonally across grain into thin slices.

Combine hoisin, orange rind, orange juice, and Sriracha. Heat tortillas according to package directions. Spread about 2 tablespoons hoisin mixture down center of each tortilla. Top each tortilla with 1/4 of duck, 2 cucumber strips, 1/4 of onions, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds; roll up.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 filled tortilla)

Answer 7

When I am in a hurry I do a pasta bake. Just bow tie pasta and meat cooked in onion and garlic and you throw them in a caserole dish and top with spaghetti sauce and top with mozzarella and provolone cheese. I do a lemon baked chicken all the time too. We live in the south so we do a lot of country style foods like corn pudding, green beans with ham hocks, country fried steak.
