[quote=Anonymous]Roast chicken is easy, but I wouldn't have time for it between work and kids' bedtimes - depends on what time you get home from work, I guess.  You can cut the chicken in half or quarters to speed up the cooking, but then you lose the dramatic chicken carving.

My go-to for quick guest dinners is seafood - kind of special (not something that everyone eats every day), delicious and FAST.

Roast salmon - get 4-6 oz per person, individual fillets are easiest.  Drizzle with EVOO, salt & pepper, garlic powder, and chopped fresh basil.  Squirt a little lemon juice over it.  Roast at 400 degrees 10-20 minutes depending on the size of the fillets.  Serve with additional lemon wedges.  Add rice and a veggie, and you're done.

Pasta with shrimp, and either an EVOO/garlic sauce or a light lemon/cream sauce.  Add a bag of frozen peas to the pasta water while the pasta is boiling, cook them together.  Cook the shrimp and sauce in a separate pan, then combine with the cooked pasta and peas.  Serve with a salad.

And wine. Don't forget the wine.[/quote]
