some quick and easy recipes?

Question

By the time I get home from work its already past 6:00 and Im starving! I dont have too much time to spend cooking but I need some healthy and easy ideas....

Thanks- Oh and nothing with eggs or penuts (Alergies)

Answer 1

Bean salads.... You just get a few cans of beans (I use garbanzo, navy, kidney and cooked fresh green beans) heat them up, add vinagrette and parmesan and almond slivers to taste. It takes about 20 minutes and you'll have leftovers for a few days. Healthy, quick and cheap.

Answer 2

Boil two cups of penne pasta (I use the whole wheat pasta), while that's boiling pour some Olive Oil in a big skillet, added chopped fresh baby bella mushrooms, onions, and freash garlic (or McCormicks in the jar). Stir in a large can of sliced tomatoes and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Makes a great (and healthy) home made sauce for the penne. I usually serve it with grilled chicken. Takes a total of 20-30 minutes from start to eat!

Answer 3

Get yourself a bag of frozen chicken from your local grocer. Defrost a handfull of the chicken in the microwave. Throw chicken into a frying pan with 1 can drained green beans, 2 Tbsp sugar, salt and pepper, and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of teryaki sauce. simmer on medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until sauce consistency slightly thickens. Also goes well with rice.

Answer 6

Here's a recipe that I love to throw together. It only takes me about 25 minutes, and it's from Cooking Light, so it's healthy too.

Chicken and Leek Linguine with Tomatoes

4 (4-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves, cut into strips
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
Vegetable cooking spray
2 teaspoons margarine
3 cups sliced leeks (about 3 medium)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can no-salt-added whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped
4 ounces linguine, uncooked

Combine 1/4 teaspoon of salt, garlic powder, and next 4 ingredients; sprinkle over chicken, and set aside.

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; add margarine, and place over medium-high heat until margarine melts. Add the chicken, and cook 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove from skillet; set aside.

Add leeks and garlic to skillet; cook over medium-high heat 3 minutes or until tender. Add chicken broth and next 3 ingredients; bring to a boil. Break linguine into 2-inch pieces; add linguine and chicken to skillet. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 15 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stir chicken back into skillet.
