Answers:
I have a very easy recipe for a chicken pie!. you need:
-1 pack Pillsbury pie crusts room temperature (refrigerator section near the eggs and canned biscuits) they come in a pack of 2!.
-1 large can of chicken or 2 small cans (you can add more or less, does not have to be exact, you can also boil a chicken and debone it and use the meat, depends on how much time you have)
-can of chicken broth
-small can of mixed veggies (i use veg-all or green giant peas and carrots)
-small amount of flour, maybe a third to half cup
-pepper

in a 9" pie plate, put one pie shell!. pour in chicken, i usually do not use all of the liquid, maybe half!. drain the veggies and pour in on chicken!. put about half a can of chicken broth, more or less according to how moist you want it!. add pepper!. sprinkle in flour, how much is up to you, i usually just put a thin layer over the mixture!. Too much and it will be too dry, not enough and it will be more runny, but either way its good!. (If you do put too much flour, don't worry, just use the rest of the chicken broth over it when you serve it!.
roll out the other pie crust and put on top!. press edges to seal with bottom crust and be careful not to tear it!. make a few slits in the top with a sharp non-serrated knife and done! You can brush and egg white over the top, but that is mostly for looks and i don't do it every time!.
bake at 400 for 45-55 minutes, should turn lightly brown on top, more if you put egg white on it!.
You can make this ahead of time and put it in the fridge before baking, just make sure the pan you put it in can go from cold to hot without any consequences (pyrex)!. I also make it without the veggies sometimes and have a veggie sidedish to go with it!.
you can also add other spices to it, i do garlic powder sometimes!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

easiest recipe: A wallet and a good restaurant!.

real recipe:

Hmm!.!.!.yeah I'm a terrible cook!. Everything I cook somehow turns into charcoal!. Even if I'm watching it carefully!

I do make some great salads and paninis!. If you can find yourself a sandwich press, you can make some great paninis with anything you have!. Like: You could take some sourdough bread, your favorite cheese, and a few slices of turkey, maybe some of your favorite dressing (i love putting italian dressing in it) and you've got a great sandwich that can be pressed and melted!. Mmm!

You could also do some soup and you could try making lemon chicken!. That's pretty easy!. A couple of pieces of chicken, lightly dusted with flour and pounded!. Mix up a sauce of lemon juice, melted butter, crushed garlic, and corn starch!. Just stir fry the chicken, and once you're done, take the chicken out and cook the sauce for a few minutes!. It should thicken up and be perfect for dipping!

As far as salads go!.!.!.it's pretty basic!. You can add all sorts of herbs, garlic, and dressings to basic cucumbers, tomato, and lettuce!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

get something from the frozen food section!. i do that because i can just pop it into the oven coz i hate the smell of frying(although i do like fried food) and i really hate washing pots or pans and cleaning up the stove and mopping the floor just to get the oil or whatever off everywhere in the kitchen!. i usually get lasagne or fish or sometimes pizza!.

another alternative is to get salad!. living alone its useless to buy so many veges, coz i never eat them in time and they rot, so i buy salad packets and they are so easy just buy a packet of salad/shredded ham or chicken, some creme fraiche dressing/french dressing/thousand island/sour cream dressing and i mix the salad, one of the dressing and salad meat together and voila i have a easy non cooking dinner!.

but if i have guest over then i'll make some rice and stir fried veges(ready sliced and in a packet) with marinated sliced beef or pork or chicken to add to the stir fry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ANYKIND STUFFED CHICKEN
I simply buy some boneless chicken breasts!. i cook them half way done in a frying pan, than take a knife and slice down the middle almost to the other side to make a pocket in each one!. than you throw whatever you want inside the pocket and put them in the oven for the rest of the time!. i don't even keep track of how long i bake them i just check on them every ten min or so!. once i used mexican fillings like spicy cheese, pepers and black olives!. another time i used feta cheese, asparagas and mushrooms!. you could change it up all the time!. its so good =) and easy!. i don't cook either but they always turn out awesome and i get a lot of compliments!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like the jumbo frozen shrimp that is already deveined, season it with Tony Cachere's and then pan fry it in butter!. It can be served over noodles or rice!. If I want to make sauce, I melt 1 pckg of philly cream cheese with milk and salt/pepper and toss in a handful of baby spinach and halved cherry tomatoes!. You can play around with these ingredients and create you own unique dish!. Good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com

well, i've made macaroni salad and it's good!. the ingredients are macaronis, apples, onions, sausages, mayonnaise, cooking cream, cheese!. steam the macaroni and the sausages( but chop it first), after that ,cut the apples, onions, cheese, and put it all in a bowl, pour the mayo and the cooking cream and mix it all up!
put it in the fridge if you want it more tastierWww@FoodAQ@Com

try rissoles,
they are just onion, chicken and potato all blended together and fried!.

The chicken must be precooked but not the onion,
mash the potatoes and then put all the ingredients into a mixer!.
once it's like thick bread crumbs take a hand full and roll it into a ball, then splat it!.
fry both sides and eat!.

try it, it tastes good and it's different!.

p!.s!. you can add garnish!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Oven 350
Big baking dish
Peice of salmon in center of dish

Shake and Bake is an awesome tasting and no hastle way to cook!.!.!.!.they have at least 9 differant flavors and you can use it on chicken or pork!. I do not bake it at the recomended 400*
I put the oven on 350* and cook it slower plus if I have the oven on I might as well have baked potaoes or diced potatoes with onions, butter, and seasoned salt (baked in foil or a pan) !.!.!.no turning or stiring needed!.!.!.an hour or so and all is done!.!.!.I also usually cook some corn or other veggie on stove top and have bread (brown and serve preferably) becoz we love to eat and have to have at least 4 things!.!.!.lol
