Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Rico's note: For when you get home late from the gym with no patience to cook: this with a few crackers takes care of hunger in five minutes.
