Hello! Today I will tell you how to cook an appetizing, healthy and budget dish for a large family in 30-60 minutes. Below are the best simple and delicious recipes for dinner.

First, I note which products are undesirable in the evening:

  • Smoked meats and pickles. Heartburn and thirst after their use will interfere with sound sleep.
  • Fig. Refined cereals have a lot of fast carbohydrates and starch, which leads to weight gain.
  • Sweet pastries. Wheat flour and granulated sugar instantly raise blood glucose levels. Then he quickly falls and hunger returns. After a sweet cake dinner, there is a danger of raiding the fridge late at night.

What to cook for dinner with chicken

If chicken is chosen for an evening meal, you should avoid frying it in oil. I advise you to cook, bake or steam.
