Well I know here is Australia we have made up meals like Apricot chicken and Chicken Chow min but my partner loves Roast pork, Lasagne, Soups. Maybe stick to something like that - that he loves. Maybe Spaghetti Bolognaise or Lasagne and I use Mortadella and Egg for that special touch.
Here are several recipes to choose from.

Season chicken with salt, garlic, and paprika. Next, spread it out, in one layer baking pan. Dilute the soup with the cream; pour it over the chicken, and sprinkle parsley on top.
