What are some simple, easy, healthy and taste recipes for a teen who can cook well?

Question

I like most kinds of food(very-openmind and willing to tey new things!). Prep time shouldn't be too long. Maybe an hour-ish- at the most. I like foods that are healthy too! I'm not a fanatic, but i do like most fruits and vegtables, and i prefer not to eat something that is going to make me feel like i'm going to be sick.

Links to specific recipes on other websites are welcome!

And also, please don't tell me mac and cheese, spagetti and crap like that though, as im not twelve, and am actually very capable when it comes to the kitchen.

Answer 1

PARMESAN CHICKEN (The quick n easy way)



Chicken breasts (pounded to thin, or slice lenthwise to half)

Dip in Italian dressing (salad dressing)

Dip soaked chicken into grated parmesan cheese (the shaker kind)

Fry in pan with a little olive oil on med/high.....to browned. Yum yum yum!!!!



This is a favorite dish here in our home, and it's quick to make!! ENJOY!!

Answer 2

You can get a good selection from KraftFoods.com as well as bhg.com (Better Homes & Gardens' site) and BettyCrocker.com



Maybe you can even check out a cookbook like BH&G or Joy of Cooking from your local library. I have about 5 feet of cookbooks on my shelves and about 15" of recipe cards. I use them more often than website recipes...mostly I get the ideas from the websites and then find I already have a very similar recipe that I know is tried and true!

Answer 3

Apple chicken



2 chicken breasts

salt

oil

2 tsp. minced garlic

1 C chopped apple

3/4 C apple juice



Salt each side of the chicken and brown on a skillet for about 4 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm. Sautee the garlic and apples in the oil. Add the apple juice and let simmer for a few minutes. Place the chicken in a baking pan and pour in the apple mix. Bake for 30-40 minutes at 375 turning chicken over halfway through cooking time.

Answer 4

If you like vegetables just microwave all kinds of frozen ones just till they are crisp. Heat olive oil in skillet M-high brown some onion then throw in the vegetables and brown. Serve over brown rice. Some times I add pre cooked shrimp to the onion or left over baked chicken. I love it.
