Try this recipe from Jacques Pepin:
http://www.jacquespepin.net/recipes/feb2007.html
It is a simple one pan, elegant meal. The wine reduces to a luxurious sauce. Plenty of vegetables and no salad needed.
I tame it down and use either 2 or three chicken quarters. I forget.. just what fits in my covered skillet as I am cooking for two.
Also, try it (or any recipe for this occasion) in advance so you don't get surprised and flustered.
Pair with a nice chardonnay.

Depends? Does your 'friend' like shell fish? If so, I'd recomment eating king crab legs (dip in melted butter and a squeeze of lemon) and a simple rice dish. Or go for shrimp. They can be cooked very quickly with many many types of dressings or mariades and an elegant vegi. But, don't forget the wine & candles!

Grill some chicken breasts in the frying pan on the oven in a little bit of olive oil.
In a blender mix a handful of baby spinach, a bit of olive oil, red wine vinegar splash or two, and a favorite spice (basil or rosemary are delicious with dark greens), blend it, add oil till desired constincy, pour over chicken on the plate.
or
whole wheat pasta, store bought marinara sauce, cut up ham, and whole basil leaves for a delicious pasta. You could offer to wipe off their chin when they drip.

I would say whatever his/her favorite meal is. If you don't know, then something not too messy, but not so not messy.
