I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you're tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

Porkchop and potato cut into wedgies tossed in the toaster oven then some raw broccoli for pooping power later

Hard boiled eggs

Leftovers. Honestly, I cook like two times a week. Throw most of it in the fridge, some of it in the freezer, and grab a collection of whatever and microwave, air fry, or convention oven it. Even better is if the "cooking" is smoking or crock pot. You know, throw it in, check every few hours, kind of deals.

Otherwise, I'll just eat ingredients and pretend it's a charcuterie.

The other is sandwiches and eggs. Make bacon, use bread or eggs to clean up grease, throw some meat or cheese on it, season with bull shit (whatever premixed seasoning sounds good). I like mayo and balsamic on my sandwiches too. That's my easier than eating out and actually worth eating stuff.

Chicken "parmesan"

  • non-scratch breaded chicken
  • good marinara
  • parmesan/mozza (sparingly)

Put 3 frozen chicken breasts in the instant pot, add 1 cup chicken stock, sachet of taco seasoning, half a cup of salsa, and a tin of kidney beans, pressure cook for 17 mins, break up the chicken and mix back in, serve with sour cream and grated cheese. Amazing.

Bean and Cheese nachos Bonus if you have some sort of leftover chicken or other grilled meat to add.

Cook refried beans. Dab a thin coat of beans with a spoon on a chip and place on greased baking sheet. Add meat if you have it. Cover with shredded cheese. Bake on 350 for 5-6 minutes.

I like to serve with salsa and pickled jalapeΓ±os if I have them, which I usually do just for this dish.

Chicken Teriyaki. I often have left over grilled chicken breast or thighs so the hard part is already done. I just throw the chicken into a skillet along with some broccoli, pour in store bought teriyaki sauce and serve it on a bowl of rice.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Is the broccoli already cooked? Or are you just heating it up to absorb the sauce?

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

No, not cooked. More specifically, I throw them in first with a bit of oil to roast them a little before adding the chicken and sauce.

One of these 2:

  • some leftover rice, reheated.
    or
  • a couple small potatoes, microwaved and then cut into cubes.

Mixed with one of these 3:

  • 1-2 packets cooked maggi masala ramen.
    or
  • a can of chili and microwave for another couple minutes.
    or
  • bagged madras lentils, similar to above.

Rice, salsa, cheese, sour cream, wing it from there with seasonings and proteins like beans or meat.

Usually I cross the street for some Mexican food! Cheap and magnificent!

Breaded chicken tenders with spaghetti and jarred sauce or pesto.

Oh I have a lot of recipes like this, all pasta based because it takes just 10 minutes to boil the noodles.

  • Cream or tomato based sauce - Microwave meatballs that are fully-cooked out of the pack for 3 minutes. Toss in the pan with onions and garlic, pour bottled sauce, mix in noodles.

  • Pasta limone with shrimp - Generously salt water for boiling noodles. Fry a pack of fully-cooked shrimp with butter, garlic, onions, and lemon pepper. Mix in noodles. Add a couple of spoons of salted pasta water. Squeeze half a lemon. Sprinkle a good amount of parmesan.

  • Peanut pasta - Dilute 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter in the pan with water until you get a saucy consistency. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and sesame oil. Add a couple of spoons of salted pasta water. Mix in noodles.
