Your favourite easy family meal?

[greenplants]

I tend to spend ages making something fairly time consuming only to have a few moans from dc. Last week I was a bit busy at work and hadn't pre organised my meals as usual. A couple of nights I just had to grab something easy from the local shop. One meal was brunch -egg, bacon, sausage,beans with a nice fresh loaf of bread. Another was chicken kiev, new potatoes and peas. Both were so easy but everyone absolutely loved them. Looking for other similarly easy meals for when you're pushed for time.

Sliced potatoes, chunks of carrots and yellow pepper. Pack of chicken thighs / drumsticks on top. Add a few dollops of pesto and coat all over. Bake for 35/45 mins.
10 mins prep, one dish, loved by the whole family.

Creamy garlic Chicken and bacon pasta.

Fry off the bacon, use ready cooked chicken strips/chunks. Add garlic and double cream. Put the pasta on, tadah! Serve with garlic bread and/or salad. Always a winner in our house.

Chicken drumstick and vegetable traybake. Everyone in this house loves it.

Tortellini pasta bake goes down well here - fresh tortellini, quick tomato sauce from chopped toms and herbs, usually stir in something like Parma ham then top with cheese and bake. Takes about 20 mins, served with a salad.
Also if you have leftover roast chicken or pre cooked chicken we do a quick satay noodle dish. Boil noodles with peas and sweetcorn, drain and retain a splash of water. Satay sauce is just peanut butter, soy and a squeeze of lime mixed with the water- stir in noodles, veg and cooked chicken. Again about twenty minutes
