It's not a fancy meal, but it's an easy one:
When I have extra ramen noodles around I just chop up whatever I want with it--steak, mushrooms, onion, etc. It makes for a very fast pasta. If the noodles aren't flavorful enough for you, you can also use bouillon to flavor them (or if you wanted an alternative to using the powder packet they provide)
..and of course everybody loves grilled cheese or tuna melts! I add garlic salt to the bread so it tastes less bland.
I doubt these were secret to anybody, but since the swiss chicken I shared was a real recipe, I wanted to include my less sophisticated meals.
I always see the back of the cans of campbell's chunky soup to just pour the slow roasted beef and mushroom can on top of mashed potatoes, sounds kind of blah..but I think I'd be more interested in trying it if I fried my leftover mashed potatoes in a pan with light oil. I love using leftover potatoes this way! Make sure you do it until they are nice and crisp/firm. They are something delicious for sure! I figure that would be a good way to make some leftovers into a meal.0 -
I did a cauliflower pizza base lastnight, with some poached chicken, garlic prawns, spinach, and tomato pesto on it - it was amazing, even my fiancee enjoyed it. Took approx. 10 mins to prepare the base, then 20 to cook the base, then another 10 in the oven with toppings on it.0

I could bore you for hours with different recipes, but for literally "quick and easy" - I don't think you can beat scrambled eggs on toast. Sure, it isn't a balanced meal, but it fills you, you don't usually have to go shopping specially to get the ingredients and you can make it in 2 minutes (especially if you do the eggs in the microwave).0

I make a pretty good Greek inspired salad.
1 C spinach
1 C romaine lettuce
Sunflower seeds
Slivered almonds
Sliced button mushrooms
Sliced olives of any color
Grape or cherry tomatoes of any color
Feta cheese crumbles
1-2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1-2 tsp Red Wine Vinegar
Black pepper
Chive
Take your leaves in a bowl
Put the veggies in the bowl with the lettuce
Add your EVOO and Red Wine Vinegar; toss until covered.
Add nuts and seeds; toss again, make sure they don't all sit at the bottom.
Plate, top with chive, pepper, and feta.
Serve!
Add chicken, fish or a spicy sausage to make a complete meal.0 -

Crock Pot Sante Fe Chicken - BOOM - I win :-)
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/02/crock-pot-santa-fe-chicken-425-pts.html
This is the #1 downloaded recipe of 2012. 190 calories per cup. 2 cups does it for me.
EDIT - forgot to say the whole family and the whole office loves this...
You can do this in a pot and hurry it up. The longest is cooking the chicken so you can shred it - probably done in 30 minutes.0 -
