Get a little stand-alone steamer and steam your spinach.
Add a little bit of real butter and some lemon.
It cooks down like mega, so get that Costco/Sams membership and get a big bag.
I'm also a fan of the rotisserie chicken (thinking about quick meals here) but sometimes, I like to just bake one.
Purchase a whole fryer chicken. You can get one at Walmarto for $3-$4.
This is the basic of basic...
1. Rinse it off, put it in a big bowl.
2. Soak it in some olive oil, add some fresh garlic, a little salt and pepper. Insert some more garlic just under the skin of the breasts (and buy some gum....)
3. Place in a pyrex dish, or on a little rack inside the dish.
4. Throw in the oven for 1 1/2 hours or so at 350. (it's summer, so you could cut it in half and grill it, that's great too)
4. When the leg pulls apart from the thigh easily, take it out and let it rest for 10 minutes.
5. Save one of the breasts for a sandwich the next day.
For bland chicken breasts, I like the following:
1. Put a couple in a gallon ziplock bag.
2. Add olive oil, fresh smooshed garlic, salt, pepper, the juice & some fruit from canned pineapple, and a tablespoon of thai hot sauce.* - ##
3. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30-minutes.
4. Grill.
5. Slice and put on your salad or fresh spinach.
6. Grate some fresh parmesan cheese on top.
6. Add your favorite salad dressing (I like the Newman's Olive Oil and Italian).
*I keep some ginger root in a ziplock bag in the freezer. When I want to marinate chicken breasts, I just take it out the freezer and grate a little into the bag as well. Throw it back into the freezer, and it won't rot on you.

## Edit....ooops, just a teaspoon. I don't want anyone hurting themselves...
