What's a good simple meal I can cook for my boyfriend?!


Question: What's a good simple meal I can cook for my boyfriend?
Whenever we see eachother again, I would like to cook him dinner since we've been eating out alot. Nothing too complicated though! Thank you.

Answers:

Chicken or fish and vegetables in foil packs.

Take a piece of boneless chicken breast or fish filet of your choice, add your favourite fresh vegetables, salt and pepper, (garlic if you're both going to eat it), your favourite fresh herbs, and a few slices of lemon, a drizzle of olive oil if you like and seal it up in a foil pack and bake it for 15 to 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven. You can do one large pack for both of you but it's better if you do one for each of you.

Serve it with a quick rice pilaf...instead of using two cups of water to one cup of rice, use one cup of chicken broth and one cup of water to one cup of rice, when the rice is done, stir in two teaspoons of butter, some chopped chives or green onion and some slivered almonds and serve it with the foil pack.



Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style

Ingredients

* 4 teaspoons salt

* 2 (4 pound) whole chickens

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix together salt, paprika, onion powder, thyme, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Remove and discard giblets from chicken. Rinse chicken cavity, and pat dry with paper towel. Rub each chicken inside and out with spice mixture. Place 1 onion into the cavity of each chicken. Place chickens in a resealable bag or double wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 to 6 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
3. Place chickens in a roasting pan. Bake uncovered for 5 hours, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (85 degrees C). Let the chickens stand for 10 minutes before carving.
