The friend we’re staying with cooks simple but delicious meals. A couple of nights ago he fixed barbecued chicken, rice, lima beans, corn and green bean medley, and potato salad. It was cooked up quickly and served piping hot.

The chicken was the focal point, of course. To cook it, he simply dipped boneless, skinless chicken breast portions into a mixture of ketchup and Louisiana hot sauce, then baked it, covered, in a casserole dish. While that was baking he cooked rice and fixed vegetables. The potato salad was some he’d picked up at the store.

This is the kind of meal that is nutritious, warming, and satisfying every time.
