My recipes

I could not help but notice that many people rely on prepared, frozen, take-out foods so I decided to start the thread because I am an avid cook and a busy, working mother of 3 with a very demanding job. So all the recipes are: 1) easy to make 2) with readily available ingredients 3) not time consuming. I will be posting these as I come up with them. Here is the first one:
Chicken in basil tahini yogurt marinade:

For the marinade:
1 cup of fresh basil leaves
1 tbsp of tahini
1 tbsp of greek yogurt
1 garlic clove
Juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper to taste

Blend all the ingredients.

Pound 1.5 lbs of chicken breast, and pour the marinade over, keep in the fridge for at least 24 hours.

I cook them in the oven, using the perforated tray with a solid tray underneath. I brush a tiny bit of olive oil on the perforated tray. Takes 15-18 minutes at 400 degrees.

My easiest recipe is a chicken breast with poultry seasoning and Italian spice thrown on the grill, with a side of salad. Or rice.

Alternatively a teaspoon each of salt, garlic and rosemary (or whatever green spice, I like basil too, or a mix), half a teaspoon of pepper, and two tablespoons of oil. Mix, coat a chicken breast, use the remainder to toss some chopped potatoes and carrots/broccoli/cauliflower, put on a pan, put in the oven at 425 F for 30 minutes.

One pan meals are a lifesaver.

1) It's really kind of you to be willing to take the time to post these recipes. But there are millions of recipes available on line. I don't think people are relying "on prepared, frozen, take-out foods" because they don't know how to google.

2) This is the food and nutrition forum. There's a separate recipe forum. You would probably find more interest if you posted there.

And here's the obligatory prepared/frozen/take out foods aren't evil and neither are the people who use them for convenience or if they don't want or like to cook response.

(I know...no one used the evil word but me.)

Now, my easiest and only actual recipe is a chicken thing I make in the crockpot that has yet to poison me. Take boneless skinless chicken breasts, add some water, and sprinkle on whatever seasoning. Cook on high for 3 1/2 hours or 8ish on low (I've only done high).
