GOOD (Quickest and Somewhat Healthy):
Buy a bag of chicken tenderloins and a bottle of Italian salad dressing (please no HFCS or MSG!). Dump the dressing on the chicken the night before or for a few hours before grilling. Hand the bag to your husband and have him grill them.
BETTER (Quick and Healthier):
Buy some free-range chicken breasts (Preferably ones that were previously free-range. If they are still "ranging", this recipe probably won't qualify as quick.) and some healthy, bottled Italian dressing. Prepare the same way as the GOOD option above.
BEST (Still pretty Quick and Healthiest):
Use your free-range, antibiotic-free (etc.) chicken breasts and make this Italian dressing. Prepare the same way as the GOOD option above.

I finally figured out that I could give my husband meat for the week and get it all cooked in one shot! What a time saver!
ReplyDeleteBy the way... Money Saving Mom also does a receipe like this, but she dumps the chicken and dressing in a crockpot. :)
So how exactly do you do the meat for the whole week? Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do it in the crockpot, but my husband likes grill and oven only for some reason. :-(
Well, in my case it's mainly chicken. We had a cookout/birthday party on Saturday where my husband was grilling burgers for our guests. Since he was going to be out there anyway, I figured I'd thaw a whole bag of chicken breasts, dump barbeque all over them and let him grill those all up. I shred them or dice them for wraps and such.
ReplyDeleteBut, the idea can carry over for anything. Extra chicken, burgers, sausage, potatoes, veggies, etc. It's kind of like freezer cooking. If you're going to make something anyway, make it double and save yourself some time! Some of it could certainly be frozen to be used later or just make what you can use before it goes bad. :)
Sounds great! Maybe I'll try that.
