There are so many simple, quick, minimal recipes you might use!. Here's a one-dish chicken recipe to make in the oven!.
Start with a jointed chicken!. Then, have a look in your fridge!. If you've got potatoes, carrots and leeks or onions, cut those up and toss them in with the chicken in a baking dish!. You could also use other root vegetables such as turnip, squash, or sweet potatoes!. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and vegetables and season with salt and pepper!. If you've got it, throw in some fresh chopped or dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme or sage!. A bit of crushed garlic wouldn't hurt!
Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 45 minutes to 1 hour!. Serve the chicken and vegetables with some of the juice from the pan!.
!. !. !.And you've only got one pot for the washing up!
Enjoy,
Anya

My kids don't like the same things & trying to get them to eat can be a trial to say the least (and they're not even young at 15 & 19!)
Take a look at the BBC site for recipes & see if you can find anything you think they'll eat!.
I know that Asda has quick recipes on it's site too asdo Sainsbury's & Tesco's I think!
