Like, totally basic!? Well!.!. if you're not afraid of vegetables, and if you've heard of Gordon Ramsey (the chef in "Hell's Kitchen"), there's this broccoli soup that's made of literally just broccoli, water, and (optionally) goat cheese and walnuts!. And it's allegedly delicious!. You can YouTube the recipe to see it made live!.
Not a big broccoli fan (I know I'm not), there are a LOT of chicken dishes out there that require chicken, olive oil, and a couple of spices/herbs, and some oven time!. Super easy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

as good!.!.!.served over rice!.
I found another variation!.!.!.!.!.omit the catsup and add a small jar of Salsa (any variety)!.
I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup!.!.!.!.not)!.

using Salsa!.!.!.!.!.I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my
husband!.!.!.(just proves!.!.!.I can't do two things at once)!.!.!.!.mixed Salsa & Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out the catsup) & Cola!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.still turned out really tasty (to me)!.!.!.might be a little sweeter than some of you like!.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but!.!.!.I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for "HOT") Buffalo Wings packet!.!.!.(the kind you get to bake in the oven)!.!.!.!.!.I thought it was really good!.!.!.!.!.(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken)!.
Finally!.!.!.!.!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken!.!.!.!.!.!.that's good , too!.
Another (bright)idea!.!.!.!.!.I thought of trying!.!.!.!.!.!.replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce!.!.!.and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp!.!.!.!.!.!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce!.!.!.!.!.!.eh!.!.!.wasn't all that
great!.!.!.was OK!.!.!.probably won't be fixing it again!.
also tried beef stew cuts!.!.!.!.!.!.that was pretty good!.!.!.!.!.I can see

Served both over rice!.!.!.!.!.think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles!.
