Looking for simple recipe to cook for one person, Do you have any?

A single chicken breast is perfect for one person, and there are so many simple ways to prepare it. You can filet it into two thinner pieces and pound it flat or just leave it as it is. Then...





1. Chicken Piccata: Sprinkle with salt, pepper and a light coating of flour (omit flour if you wish). Saute in some butter. Remove from pan. Squeeze lemon juice into pan and scrape the chicken bits and juices. You can add some white wine here, too. Stir and let this mixture reduce (liquid evaporates) a little until slightly thickened. Pour over chicken breast. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.





2. Chicken Marsala: Do the same with the chicken breast above, except after removing the chicken from pan, add sliced mushrooms and garlic. Saute. Add some red wine (marsala) and reduce. Pour over chicken breast.





3. Chicken Cordon Bleu: Slice breast in half to make a large thin piece. Pound flat. Layer on one slice of Swiss Cheese and then ham. Roll it up. Dredge in flour, then beaten egg then bread crumbs. Bake or microwave.





Any meats are easy for one: Steak, pork chop, fish, etc.





1. Balsamic Salmon: Blend honey and balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic together. Brush on salmon filet and broil. Top with sesame seeds and/or chopped parsley when done. I top with fresh pea sprouts and drizzle on the extra marinade.





2. Pastas: Cook one serving and then toss with anything from cooked bacon, melted butter and parmesan cheese to sauteed or roasted veggies...or just fresh chopped tomatoes, basil and olives. Really, anything goes.

salmon steak in the oven with cheesy potato scallops and peas - delicious
I like making stuff like pita pizza and salad....make rice or pasta and keep it in the fridge for stir Fry's.





You can make soups and freeze them. I love freezing small portions (lasagna, soup, casserole) and bringing them for lunch and diners. When cooking for one, you should try and think ahead so you don't end up eating fast ';crap';.





Salads are always good, I always have a pepper and mushrooms in the fridge and just cut a little up every night and throw it on my salads...so fast and easy and healthy





Don't sacrifice speed for health!
