Healthy Quick Recipes with four ingredients or less???

I am not a whiz in the kitchen, nor do I like spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Does anyone have an easy, quick recipe that they would like to share with very few ingredients....no vegetarian recipes please.Healthy Quick Recipes with four ingredients or less???
My favorite quick, healthy lunch is: a really good, tasty slice of bread, sliced deli turkey, and Swiss cheese or Dill Havarti or pepper jack cheese or whatever strikes my fancy that day. I try to coordinate the taste of the bread w/ my cheese. I put the bread slice of a piece of foil, top with the turkey and cheese and put it under the broiler for about 5 minutes. Relatively low in carbs and high in protein.Healthy Quick Recipes with four ingredients or less???
peanut butter with anything


that is, unless you're allergic to peanuts
Roasted Lemon Cauliflower





Break cauliflower into bite-size florets and place in shallow roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil, salt pepper and sliced garlic. Toss in pan to make sure evenly coated. (You only need a little oil.)





Roast in the oven at 375 or so for about 30-45 minutes.





The main idea is for the cauliflower to roast and to be slightly browned on the edges. This is an awesome and healthy side dish that is super easy.

Chicken with yellow rice.





Use R. M. Quiggs yellow rice.





Ingredients:


chicken


water


rice


butter or margarine if you like








Tastes and smells wonderful.


Looks very pretty next to boiled broccoli spears.
pasta


mushrooms


canned tomato pasta sause


chicken


herbs





salad or garlic bread on the side is great
Salsa and tuna. It sounds weird, but it tastes delicious, it's easy, and it's nutritious. My friend swears by it when he is in training.





Salsa rice and black beans. another easy dish with protein and delicious salsa, and enough carbs to keep you going.





Pasta with peanut butter sauce. Use spaghetti. The sauce is peanut butter, garlic, and hot, or fire, oil. Still has only 4 ingredients. This is the best tasting, but you still get protein and carbs. A nice addition (I know, this makes it five ingredients) is fresh chopped cucumber.





homemade salsa. You can use just about anything as long as you have a base of tomato, onion, and cilantro.





fried shrimp with garlic. Fry sliced garlic and shrimp in ample olive oil. drizzle over spaghetti.





And make sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and drink lots and lots of water.
