Making dinner for my parents?!
Making dinner for my parents?
I am having my parents over for dinner later this week, I want to make something nice yet something that will be hard to mess up! I was thinking chicken breast marinated in italian dressing... opinions? What goes well with it?
Answers:
Salad, pasta or rice, vegetable or baked potatoes.
Would love your chicken recipe, sounds yummy!
baked potatoes and green salad always good with chicken.
sounds great, just add a baked potato,toss salad and dinner rolls,and maybe a cheesecake for dessert
It sounds good to me! Why not use boneless chicken to make it easier? As for sides, spinach sauteed in garlic and a garden salad would be good choices.
That's so nice of you to make dinner for your parents!
omg you should make spagetti and meat sauce! I make it for my guests all the time! It's easy and tasty!
Sounds yummy already but you should add maybe either salad,bake potatoes,green beans,corn, maybe you should make a soup? you could do a 3 course menu. Good Luck =]
One of my favorite chicken recipes for guests is chicken with prosciutto. It's dead simple, very elegant and will impress anyone.
Take boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Cover with a little pesto from a jar (classico for example), wrap a slice of proscuito (most deli sections have it either pre-packaged or by the slice) over the top, tucking the ends underneath..Place in a baking dish. Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes. I served with asparagus (get a bag of frozen - tastes great and no fuss cooking) and noodles tossed with a little butter and parmasan cheese.
The best thing to do is to make something that you do well - don't try any new recipes unless you're absolutely sure they'll come out perfectly (best to be safe if you're trying to impress). Also, have a couple of hors d'oeuvres - like olives or a cheese plate. A light dessert would be nice - do something easy, like homemade brownies with vanilla or peanut butter cup ice cream. A glass of wine is always appreciated. Good luck!
a nice gift for them
I would say marinate steak in the dressing...they will go together better. Put a pat of butter on each steak (it makes it look fancy). Make garlic bread with it. Slice an italian loaf in half, spread with butter, a little chopped garlic or garlic powder, and sprinkle with basil. Wrap in tinfoil and put in the oven at 350 Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes. When I made it, it looked like Emeril did it!
Grilled chicken breast,green salad,fresh green beans,baked potato with everything on side,tea,coffee,dinner rolls,and chocolate pudding with cool-whip on top(in a tall glass)Whatever you feed them they will enjoy,do a dinner that will not keep you in the kitchen--just be able to keep in the oven on warm.All at top are easy and can be put in oven on low without any drying out...Happy Eating........
