  Guest loser Panacea has something for you eligible cooking man-losers Bachelor Chicken Dinner Suitable for sort of impressing your date, at least if they aren't vegetarian anyway. About half an hour before they are supposed to come over, pull two frozen boneless chicken breasts out ofthe freezer.
(Or more, if you are into that sort of thing. )Rub with oil, then sprinkle with Cajun seasoning blendwhich is the cooking loser's friend because it covers up freezer burn pretty well. Wrap each piece of chicken in tin foil and throw them in the oven which you now remember you should have turned on to 350F before you started this project so it would have time to preheat. (Make sure the chicken packets have the open side of the foil up because if enough crud accumulates in the bottom of your oven you will set off the smoke alarm.
) Take two (or however many) potatoes which are not too scrungy (cut off any sprouty bits), scrub and slash the long way, wrap in foil and throw in the oven with the chicken. Fix yourself a drink. Hope your date shows up on time.Decide what the hell, if they don't show up at least you will have leftovers. When your date shows up, fix them a drink, but don't start making snooky on the couch because dinner's in the oven. When the chicken and potatoes have been in there for about 45 minutes, go back in the kitchen and throwsome frozen veggies or pre-cut carrots in the steamer basket.
(Those stupid folding steamer baskets youcan get for under five bucks US are really the loser's friend, because you can steam veggies in them and *NOT GET THE POT DIRTY* because steam is just boiling water and if it's boiled, it's clean, right? ) Steaming the veggies will take between five and ten minutes depending on whether they were fresh or frozen, what they were (carrots take longer than broccoli) and how cooked you want them.
About this time the oven should be hissing and might even be belching black smoke if you didn't listen to what I said about putting the seam in the tin foil on the top. Turn the oven off. With potholders or tongs pull out the little foil-wrapped gobbies of chicken and potatoes, and throw some bread in the hot-but-off oven to warm up while you peel the foil off and put the chicken and taters on plates. Then serve your steamed veggies, and hot bread, butter on the side and a nice glass of wine (or several).
And look, no nasty roasting pan! Just a bunch of tin foil you can wad up and put in your neighbors' recycling bin!
