It takes maybe a couple of minutes to slice up a chicken breast or thigh (or beef for that matter). Seasoning is seconds. And cooking it in a pan if you cut it up, maybe 5-10m depending on heat level and how thin you cut.

A rice cooker cooks rice in maybe 10m.

Plenty of ways to cook a quick healthy meal in 15m.
I probably banged your mom.

Eat the whole animal like a real man.

Throw some fresh meat and veggies into a nonstick pan with a bit of oil. You can make a starchy side if you like.

Tonight:

- chicken breast
- diced onion and carrot
- yellow squash
- green beans

Seasoned w/salt, pepper, garlic, umami/mushroom powder and some chicken bullion. I did cook the green beans partially in some water in the microwave. Had some mashed potatoes on the side.

sounds good but also sounds like way more than 10-15 minutes prep time. washing and dicing the onions, carrots, and squash alone would take you 20 minutes

Not really. I guess it depends on the volume.

- 1/4th of an onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 small yellow squash
- 8 oz. green beans

I would guess less than 10 minutes, though I didn't time it.

And it was just an example. You can use different kinds of meat and veg.

You can use pre-cut vegetables if you want.

One recipe I know of uses ready made coleslaw, celery and onion w/ground meat and some Asian seasoning- I think it is called eggroll skillet maybe??

Or chicken fajitas- chicken, onion, bell pepper.

All meals should have three basic things

1- carb source, potatoes or rice are fine

2- Veggies. Can be canned if you are lazy but ony takes a few minutes to chop some up and throw them in a skillet

3- protein. Beef, chicken , pork, fish, whatever. Can even be eggs.

I like to cook every 2-3 days. So i make a decent amount of veggies at one time. Just made a big pan of them. Dice them small, throw in skillet with oil and bunch of seasoning. Thats it.

Next rice is easy in a rice cooker. I make a big pot and it lasts a day or two. Rice, rinse, water, turn it on, Thats it.

Meat is again about 3 days worth. Cook it all up at one time.

With this way you only cook like 2-3 times a week and eat healthy, cheap, homecooked meals.

if more people did this they wouldnt be so fat and unhealthy.

This, except grill it whole. Just rip into it with your fingers to spread it thin.

6 minutes each side on a ribbed Lodge cast iron skillet.

Steam some frozen vegetables while you wait.
