Answer 1

Look at FoodNetwork.com and look up easy recipes that are highly rated. There are lots of them, you can search by ingredient to narrow the results.

Answer 2

Everyone likes chicken, so you could make that the entree. Use your favorite recipe to prepare it. Make a starch to go with it, like potatoes or rice. Then put together a big tossed salad and have a couple of dressing choices. For dessert, cut corners and pick up a cake or pie from the bakery.

A great chicken recipe that my family loves:

Chicken breasts (boneless)
butter
Italian bread crumbs
Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
Mix equal parts bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese and some salt and pepper. Melt butter and dip breast into it, then coat with bread crumbs. Lay in baking dish that has been greased. Pour remaining butter over top of chicken and bake for 40 - 50 minutes at 350.

This is a delicious recipe and so easy.

Chicken Fetticine Alfredo:
2 boxes pre-cooked Tyson chicken fajita strips (frozen section at walmart)
1 pkg fetticini noodles
3 jars Ragu's Alfredo Sauce
1 can Rotel

Put a little oil in a skillet. Put frozen chicken in the skillet. Cook chicken according to the directions on the box. It only takes about 5 minutes. Drain the chicken. Add 1 1/2 jars alfredo sauce to the chicken. Drain the rotel and put half the can in with the chicken/alfredo sauce. Put on medium heat until hot, stirring occasionally. Boil pasta until cooked. Drain. Pour the rest of the alfredo sauce in with the noodles. Put the remaining Rotel in with the sauce and noodles. Heat, eat, and enjoy.
