If you read this blog then you already know that this week is going to be a busy one for me.  That means hubby will be in a scramble to find something to make for dinner. It’s not that he can’t fend for himself, but we have two big dogs that both require at least an hour a day of exercise so by the time he gets home from their daily run, he really doesn’t feel like preparing dinner.  That’s usually when I’m at home making dinner.

To make sure hubby doesn’t order out on the nights I’m not home (like tomorrow night) I took it upon myself to prepare him some meals, one of which he turned his nose up to until I told him how easy it would be to cook and of course, that there was cheese involved.

I have four boneless skinless chicken thighs marinating in a mixture of equal parts plain 2% yogurt and store-bought salsa.  I know; shame on me for the store bought salsa!  I don’t usually buy jarred salsa but I will admit that it is a better option than fresh when baking anything with it.

So tomorrow night, all he has to do is bake the chicken thighs in their marinade.  He’ll need to preheat the oven to 400 *F and bake the thighs for 35 minutes, remove them from the oven, top them with grated cheese and bake them form an additional 5-10 minutes. Once out of the oven, all he has to do is top each thigh with freshly chopped cilantro and enjoy with prepared salad from my local grocery store.  

Talk about a super quick healthy meal that tops ordering out any day!

And if you are wondering, yes, I did chop up the cilantro for him.  It’s in the fridge in a tightly sealed container with damp paper towel.  I also wrote down the cooking instructions for him.  Is he spoiled?  I’d say so!
