3 ingredients.... fat free chicken breasts, 1 can of Campbells condensed lowfat mushroom soup and rice. Cook the rice accordingly while the chicken bakes. Place the breasts on a pam-sprayed baking pan (loaf pans work nicely) and cover with the can of muchroom soup.... this may freak you out a little becuase hte soup is a little think before it cooks. do not add water. Make sure the chicken is covered and bake for 30 minutes. remove from the oven and serve chicken breast and sauce over rice. this is competely painless and kid friendly!Any ideas on quick and easy recipes (and cheap!) I hav no patience 4 cooking or faffy food!?

Lentils Rice and Sausage: Sautee 1 pound of sausage, cut into coins--once sausage is browned, drain on paper towels. Heat 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil and sautee 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped red bell pepper until tender--throw the sausage back into the mix, add 1 can (15 oz?) chicken broth (preferably low salt); 1/2 cup lentils, and 1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Sometimes I add some spinach (fresh or frozen works) 15 minutes before it is done.
sauage and mash with baked beans!!!
OMG... I have loads... Well practised at living on a shoestring you see!!!
If you like pasta, just cook some pasta and in another saucepan cook some onions, peppers, garlic and either tinned chopped tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes. Once all heated and pasta cooked, pile tomatoes etc on top of pasta and grate cheese on the top.... Its lush!!! And you are getting some veg in!!! Takes about 15 mins... You can also put some bacon on top of the tomatoes and grate cheese over that if you like!!!
Or brown some cubed or sliced chicken in a frying pan, add peppers, onions, garlic and whatever else you want... Add a little bit of pasta sauce to mix it all together and serve on white rice...
Lastly (cause its nearly home time!!!) my personal favourite, two slices of ham, two fried eggs, some chips and peas for a good old ';makeshift dinner';!!! LOVELY!!!
Its amazing what great meals you can rustle up when you are using left over stuff from the cupboard and fridge!!! Just be adventurous!!!
make chicken broccoli and cream of mushroom soup over rice

me and my husband like to take a fresh piece of salmon ...season to taste and pan fry with pam spray....and put the cooked fish over a lettuce salad...it is very good..and simple...
Baked beans on toast? Can't get much simpler than that
MEATLOAF:
add to your hamburger a little sausage a package of french onion soup mix along with some A-1 steak sauce. Bake.
TACO SALAD if you like salad:
nacho chips on the bottom, then salad, fry some hamburger meat, mix in a little taco seasoning and some salsa, add this on top of the salad and add some nacho cheese sauce to the top along with some shredded nacho cheese, add some taco seasoning to the top, for looks. Use the chips to scoop or a fork. I do it both ways.
Fried ham with mashed potatoes, green beans, fry you up a couple pieces of garlic bread.
The ham may not be as cheap but it's quick to cook and people like it.
I find woks brilliant for anything. Just take whatever you have in the fridge and wok it. It only takes a few minutes and then you can add a simple bought sauce. no fuss but really tasty.
GET A WOK. Oh and if you didn't know - the more burnt and crappy your wok is the better apparently.
try going to www.allreciepes.com ....its a great site !!!!
may i suggest one piece of bread lightly toasted and 1 can of haricot beans in a tomato sauce. failing that have you tried a pot noodle?
the one i like is rice and veg.
put the rice and some frozen mixed veg in a saucepan then add the water flavoured with a couple of stock cubes of your choice and let it cook.
i like it with with gravy on and if you use brown rice its somewhat healthy to.
Cook some pasta, add 1 tin of mushroom or celery soup, 1 small tin of tuna or salmon and a tin of sweetcorn. (or if feeling energetic, cook some broccoli and add that) For a variation you could add a bit of grated cheese. Heat until hot, either in the microwave or on the stove. If you like salmon you could always go visit www.great-salmon-recipes.com, there's a few ideas on there.
Cook some pasta. Grill 2 turkey rashers then cut into strips. Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Stir in some soft cheese with garlic and herbs, the turkey rashers, some black pepper and some milk. Stir over a med heat until milk has reduced. Enjoy!!!! You can also add some sauteed onions and some sliced mushrooms if you're super-hungry.

Bean salads.... You just get a few cans of beans (I use garbanzo, navy, kidney and cooked fresh green beans) heat them up, add vinagrette and parmesan and almond slivers to taste.

There are two websites I can recommend: AllRecipes.com and FoodNetwork.com. Both have search functions where you can look for recipes. Recipes can be sorted by difficulty and searched by ingredient. There are some great ideas for easy %26amp; quick healthy recipes.
Get yourself a bag of frozen chicken from your local grocer. Defrost a handfull of the chicken in the microwave. Throw chicken into a frying pan with 1 can drained green beans, 2 Tbsp sugar, salt and pepper, and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of teryaki sauce. simmer on medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until sauce consistency slightly thickens. Also goes well with rice.
Here's a recipe that I love to throw together. It only takes me about 25 minutes, and it's from Cooking Light, so it's healthy too.
Chicken and Leek Linguine with Tomatoes
4 (4-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves, cut into strips
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
Vegetable cooking spray
2 teaspoons margarine
3 cups sliced leeks (about 3 medium)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can no-salt-added whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped
4 ounces linguine, uncooked
Combine 1/4 teaspoon of salt, garlic powder, and next 4 ingredients; sprinkle over chicken, and set aside.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; add margarine, and place over medium-high heat until margarine melts. Add the chicken, and cook 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove from skillet; set aside.
Add leeks and garlic to skillet; cook over medium-high heat 3 minutes or until tender. Add chicken broth and next 3 ingredients; bring to a boil. Break linguine into 2-inch pieces; add linguine and chicken to skillet. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 15 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stir chicken back into skillet.
Simple Stuffed Green Peppers
1 large container spaghetti sauce
3 green peppers (cut to 1';x1'; pieces)
2 med. pkg seasoned or original meatballs
Pour in spaghetti sauce and add green peppers. Cook till peppers are softened. Then add the meatballs and and cook them through.
stir occasionally. Best served on rice.
Yeilds: 6-8 serving
Chicken Wraps
2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast (you can use caned chicken breast)
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 1/2 cups salsa
1 pkt shredded chedder cheese
1 10pkt medium tortillas warmed
In saucepan, combin chicken, corn, and salsa. Cook until heated through. Sprinkel cheese on tortillas. Then put the salsa mixture down the center. Wrap tortillas and hold together with toothpicks. Yeild: 8 to 10 tortillas
Boil two cups of penne pasta (I use the whole wheat pasta), while that's boiling pour some Olive Oil in a big skillet, added chopped fresh baby bella mushrooms, onions, and freash garlic (or McCormicks in the jar). Stir in a large can of sliced tomatoes and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Makes a great (and healthy) home made sauce for the penne. I usually serve it with grilled chicken. Takes a total of 20-30 minutes from start to eat!
seasoned %26amp; sauteed chicken breasts in a skillet and pour a can of fat free cream of mushroom soup over them, a small amount of water and a dash of thyme. let it simmer for 20 minutes with a lid on. Enjoy.
p.s. you can do this to any other type of meat too instead of chicken. a can of this soup saves any dinner day.

My kids love my easy recipe for chicken quesadillas! They are simple and cheap to make, and take very little prep work; and I get lots of compliments on them.
You need: 2 or 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
picante sauce (mild or spicy depending on your tastes)
a bag of flour tortillas
shredded mozzarella
spreadable butter
Put the chicken breasts in a pot of water to boil while you butter both sides of each tortilla. When the chicken is done, dice it up.
Put a tortilla on a griddle or frying pan to cook(it only takes a minute to get crispy). Flip the tortilla over, and while the other side is now cooking, you add your other ingredients.
Sprinkle cheese all over it, then put some of the diced chicken over one half of it, and then spoon some sause over the chicken. Fold the tortilla over to sandwich it all together, and let it sit another minute so the cheese gets melted. Then you are ready to eat!
Another recipe that they like is Macoroni and Tomato soup. It is extremely fast, easy, and cheap to make, and it goes great with grilled cheese sandwiches. And best of all, it is surprisingly good!
Bring a pot of water to boil, add some elbow macoroni and wait ten minutes.
Then add a can of tomato sauce(or more than one can depending on how much soup you're making and your personal tastes).
Add a third of a stick of butter and season with salt and pepper.

sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken.
I have used Ribs, just as good.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).

You need: 2 or 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Sprinkle cheese all over it, then put some of the diced chicken over one half of it, and then spoon some sause over the chicken. Fold the tortilla over to sandwich it all together, and let it sit another minute so the cheese gets melted. Then you are ready to eat!

Go to a Caterer, they'll pack a basket. Go to the beach, great.
This Time of year a fresh homemade ceasar salad consisting of romaine hearts, Kents tableside ceasar dressing string parmesan cheese, a few diced tomatoes, a splash of olive oil, a garlic and herb crouton with a few anchovies tossed in. Along with this it would be nice to serve a piece of toasted garlic bread, and to top it off a nice red wine of your choice.
Fondue. The main time involved is cutting up the fruit, veggies, and whatever else you would like to serve. The only cooking involved is melting the ingredients on the stove. They have great recipes on allrecipes.com. The three cheese fondue is our fav. cheese, and there are good chocolate ones as well.

Apple of Love with Smoked Salmon
(my boyfriend loves it !)
- 2 red apples
- 2 slices of smoked salmon
- honey
- lemon juice
- butter
- dill (or any other herb you like : chives, chervil...) and cranberries (for decoration)
- pepper
Cut the top of the apple, and remove the pulp (keep about 1 or 0.5 centimetre near the skin so the apple won't break). Reserve the empty apple.
Remove the apple core and the apple seed, just keep the pulp.
Put some butter in a pan. When it's melted, add the apple pulp and smash it with a fork in the pan to make a pur茅e.
Add some pepper, some lemon juice and some honey, and mix again the apple pur茅e.
Remove the apple from the pan, and reserve it.
It must be cool when you serve it.
When it's cool, put the apple pur茅e in the empty apple.
Cut some thin slices of smoked salmon (about 2 centimetres large) and put the salmon slices on top of the apple in a artistic way.
Add the dill and cranberries on top, and serve.
Bon app茅tit !

Go to a Caterer, they'll pack a basket. Go to the beach, great.
This Time of year a fresh homemade ceasar salad consisting of romaine hearts, Kents tableside ceasar dressing string parmesan cheese, a few diced tomatoes, a splash of olive oil, a garlic and herb crouton with a few anchovies tossed in. Along with this it would be nice to serve a piece of toasted garlic bread, and to top it off a nice red wine of your choice.
Fondue. The main time involved is cutting up the fruit, veggies, and whatever else you would like to serve. The only cooking involved is melting the ingredients on the stove. They have great recipes on allrecipes.com. The three cheese fondue is our fav. cheese, and there are good chocolate ones as well.
