Fuqua Fast Food: Healthful Meals for the Busy Student

This week’s recipe: Easy Bake Chicken

If you’re like most busy Fuquans, preparing a home cooked meal from scratch seems overwhelming in the amount of time it takes. It’s so much easier to just grab some fast food or pick up pizza. Plus, on the rare occasion you do get to see what’s in the fridge to cook, you may have a familiar reaction - “Not chicken again”.

Chicken isn’t known for being the most exciting entrée because it doesn’t have a distinct taste without some sort of seasoning. But chicken doesn’t have to be boring, and it doesn’t have to just taste good fried or grilled. In fact, mixed in with some basic items, it can not only taste delicious, but be a healthier alternative to on-the-go food. Especially on those cold Durham evenings, here’s a warm and easy meal to spice up the frozen chicken in your freezer.

So if you are still recovering from Cranberry overload or interview frenzy, take some personal time to relax, eat, and savor.
