Any great easy healthy main dish recipes?

It has to contain some kind of meat - my husband is a total carnivore.Any great easy healthy main dish recipes?
Marinate any kind of meat and bbq....the easiest of all meals...add a salad and you have a quick meal! Marinades are not difficult to make from scratch and you do not need to marinade meats for hours upon end, 15 - 30 minutes in the evening while you are waiting for the coals to get ready is usually adequate.... something as simple as using a pinch of salt with pepper, a little lemon juice and chopped onions and some garlic will flavor any meat well or you can go all out and really do it up with multiple spices, oils and/or vinegars.... BBQ'ing is easy to learn...and most men enjoy helping with it!Any great easy healthy main dish recipes?

Try this north african dish. Method:


Prepare the rice first鈥?dice 陆 an onion and fry until it starts to turn brown, remove from the heat and put it In a deep roasting tray or lasagne along with dish place 2 small cups of rice ( I use basmati, but the most fool-proof rice to use is American easy cook) the star anise, cinnamon stick, a few raisins and the cardamom pods Now pour in enough stock (veg or chick) to just cover the rice by about an inch. If you have it place a sheet of grease proof paper on top of the rice and then wrap the whole tray with foil.


(When you are ready to start on the chicken) Place in a pre-heated oven 180C/350F for around 15 to 20 mins.
