[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d make chicken parmesan, pasta aglio olio, roasted broccoli. I’d roast the broccoli ahead of time and serve at room temp. I’d make the aglio olio ahead of time and leave on stovetop. I’d make the breaded chicken cutlets ahead and leave in fridge. When I got home, I’d simultaneously (1) warm olive oil on stove, (2) boil/make pasta, (3) warm/crisp up chicken in oven and add sauce and cheese topper. You could also throw some garlic bread in oven. [/quote]

I would feel like my host really fussed mid week with this meal.  I would be stressed about inviting you back...[/quote]

OP here,

See, that's the problem from my perspective.

I want to cook, because I like to cook and cooking for adults is more fun.  And because a nice homemade meal seems like a nice thing to do for a new friend.

But I also don't want to overwhelm someone.

Hence, the "happy medium" goal.  [/quote]

Interesting. I am the person who posted it, and for me it is an easy make ahead meal (we often bread and cook chicken and keep in freezer). Then it is just boiling pasta and warming the chicken and olive oil. Vs tacos (which I love, and think make a great group meal), you need to chop and prep every topping. I guess everyobe has different views of what is easy vs time consuming! [/quote]
