Here's one although you might want to leave out the olives as most kids don't like them.
You will need:
2 cups of cooked pasta (such as penne, shell or bow tie)
1 barbecue chicken (allowed to cool)
2 small lebanese cucumbers
1 cup cherry tomatoes
200 gms artichoke hearts cut into quarters
1 small red onion
100 gms kalamata olives (optional)
150 gms fetta cheese
Dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
dried oregano to taste
Shred the cooled chicken and put it in a bowl
Add the cooled pasta
Cut the cucumbers length ways and then in half again, then into pieces about half an inch wide
Cut the onion in half and then slice, add as much as you like to the bowl
Add the cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts and olives
Break up the fetta and add that to the bowl
Put the lemon juice, oil and oregano into a container with a lid and shake well. Pour over the salad and toss to coat with the dressing.

COLA CHICKEN
(my preference…wings or ribs)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)
Put chicken in a non-stick pan.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot sauce....presto ';Hot Wings';!
I have used Ribs, just as good.
CRUNCHY ONION CHICKEN
1 1/3 cups French’s Original French Fried Onions
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 egg, beaten
LIGHTLY CRUSH:
Onions in a plastic bag.
DIP:
Chicken in egg (put egg in plastic bag)

BAKE:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place chicken on lightly greased baking pan.

DIRECTIONS: Pre-heat oven 350 degrees
In a 9'; x 13'; baking pan, break up hot dog buns (bite size) and spread in pan.
Cut up hot dogs (about 1/2'; size) spread over buns.
Spoon/spred chilli over hot dog/buns.
Sprinkle onions over all.
Squirt mustard over entire mixture (don't spread...just make a few lines both ways across mixture)
Cover with shredded cheese.
Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly.
(Hint: If using extra hot dogs %26amp; chilli, don't add extra buns.)
';Corny Beanie Weenies.';
Mix one baked beans (14-16 ounces with brown sugar, onion, and bacon).
A package of Weiners (all sliced up).
A can of whole kernel corn (drained)
Heat up these three ingredients, and serve.
Hint:

POT ROAST
Your choice of beef (to fit crock-pot)
1 pkg. dry Ranch dressing mix

1 pkg. dry Brown Gravy mix
1 cup water
Put beef in pot.
Mix together all the dry mixes….then add water …pour over meat and cover %26amp; cook on high 4-6 hours.
Until meat is tender.
The first time I mad it I didn’t have the Italian Dressing mix….so I added a pkg. of Onion Soup Mix….I have to say I liked that better.
If you use more water you might want to add more Brown Gravy mix….to make a thicker sauce. Was gonna add potatoes and carrots…but never got around to it.

1 (14 ½ oz.) can of diced potatoes
1 can of cream of celery soup

Pour celery soup into a bowl and add a soup can full of milk and mix together, pour over potatoes and stir.
Stir in bacon bits cook over medium heat until hot, turn off stove add margarine and stir until melted, serve.
We were given a quart of Half %26amp; Half and I used some of this in my soup. You could use evaporated milk, too. Or some Fat Free milk. Your preference.
I did not add any margarine. (Second time I made it…I added ½ stick of margine)
I suppose if you want to add a little “BAM” to it, add some hot sauce.

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Best-Ever-M…
HINT: Place all the ingredients into a bowl and let them take turns to mush it all, and then tear off small loafs to mold into personal loafs, and then they can decorate them with ketchup however they want.

* 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
* 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Buffalo Style Chicken Pizza
* 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cooked and cubed
* 2 tablespoons butter, melted
* 1 (2 ounce) bottle hot sauce

Restaurant Style Mac and Cheese

* 6 ounces processed cheese, shredded
* 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
* 2 tablespoons heavy cream
* salt to taste
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2. Mix into pasta, Cheddar cheese, processed cheese and cream. Sprinkle with salt.
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Restaurant-…
HINT: Let them take turns doing things. Have one put the pasta in the pot, one can drain it, one can add the cheese, processed cheese, and cream, and one can mix it.
Try baked quesadillas. Lay out a tortilla shell, have the kids sprinkle on cheese and veggies (the older one can cut them up), add salsa, top with another tortilla shell, and bake at 350 until the cheese melts.
