Baking a chicken in the oven is super easy!

The Easiest Dinner to Make

Are you in a time-crunch? Does it stress you out? Do you wish you could figure out how to put a healthy and satisfying dinner on your family’s table, day-after-day? With all the demands of a ‘normal’ day, here is an easy-to-the-table solution I hope you’ll try. Take a deep breath, nice and slow, and then get to this plan for the easiest dinner to make!

The Menu: Baked Whole Chicken with Rice or Peas, Baby Carrots & Cut up Cantaloupe

The Grocery Shopping List:

Tip: Look into your dry pantry and fridge before going to the grocery store. If you’ve already got any of the items on this list, then don’t buy them. Use what you already have!

List:

  • Whole chicken to bake at home, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dry herbs such as basil, oregano; 350 degrees; 1-1/4 hours (or buy an already-cooked Rotisserie Chicken to save time)
  • Minute Rice that cooks in 10 minutes, white or brown
  • Baby carrots in a small bag
  • Cantaloupe to peel and cut up at home (or buy the already cut-up cantaloupe to save time)
