The first of the easy dinner
ideas is an old classic, barbecue chicken. It will take less
than an hour to make and can feed a large family cheaply. The
trick to cooking barbecue chicken is to make sure the outside
does not burn while the inside is cooking through. To make sure
this is accomplished, put the barbecue coating on after the
chicken is cooked thoroughly and let it heat until warm.
To prepare this, preheat the
oven to 300 degrees. While you are waiting for the oven to heat,
take out a baking dish and add about a teaspoon of oil. You can
use olive oil for a healthier option. Add your chicken pieces to
the pan and coat with salt and pepper. Put the chicken in the
heated oven and cook until white inside and heated to 180
degrees by meat thermometer. Mix one 16 ounce can of orange
soda and 16 ounces of barbecue sauce together and coat chicken.
Put back into the oven for about ten to fifteen minutes. Remove
and enjoy. Add a Side salad and a baked potato or potato salad
made with low fat mayonnaise and you have one of the most
perfect easy dinner ideas.
One of the kids favorites as
well as good eating for adults is tater tot casserole. It is
super simple to create and only takes less than an hour from
start to finish. It is great because it only requires the use of
two pans. A pound or two of ground met such as beef, turkey,
chicken, or pork needs to be cooked and browned. While this is
cooking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take out a large
baking dish and begin to cover the bottom with frozen tater
tots. Drain the cooked ground meat and begin to add a layer over
the tater tots.
If you like onions, you can
also cut these and layer them on top of the meat. Add a layer of
shredded cheese of your choice. Cover all this with cream of
mushroom or cream of chicken soup. Continue layering the
ingredients until you reach the top. Add a final layer of cheese
and cover with foil. Put into the oven until the casserole is
heated through. Take off the foil and let sit in the oven for a
minute to make it brown. Serve each person and enjoy. It goes
great with a fresh salad and a nice large glass of milk.
