Favorite microwave recipes?

Never made this camping but make it quite a bit at home. Kind of a bbq Chicken

In a microwave safe container combine

8oz tomato sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp finely chopped basil (dry or fresh)
1 Tbsp. Sugar
1 TBSP Paprika
2 TBPS packed brown sugar
2 TBSP finely chopped or Dried Onions
2 TBSP Butter
1/4 cup Cider Vinegar

Combine in container and microwave for 4 minutes covered

Add 8 chicken tenders and cover with sauce. Place back in microwave and cook on high for 6 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook for another 4 minutes on high. Serve over rice.

(The cook times are all approximations as depending on the power of your microwave and chicken you are using. If you think breasts add time after you turn the chicken over.)

Thanks! I didn't think about Goodwill. I will also take a look at those websites.

Was wandering around the 'net, saw these and it made me think of your want:

HTH!

My camping cookbook is out in the trailer now of course but there is almost nothing that you want to cook that cannot be done in a microwave.
Goodwill and similar stores usually have microwave cookbooks for sale very cheaply and bookstores will also have them, just not cheaply.
Bisquick has Impossible Pie recipes for the microwave. And perhaps I should have said they used to, and perhaps still do.

Wife has some plastic omlet making thingy...quick breakfast. TASTY TOO.


She also has a round one....fluffy eggs, fit perfectly on a muffin.

The microwave makes great old fashioned oatmeal.

Made a variation on this recipe one Thanksgiving that was spent away from home; was a great success cooked in the microwave of a hotel room.

Here's the original recipe and you can use any kind of poultry (I've done it with duck; turkey; and chicky). I made my versions without the canned cream soup but that was just a personal choice:

Chicken Roulade

Ingredients
Chopped mushrooms 1 Cup (16 tbs)
Finely chopped onion 1?2 Cup (8 tbs)
Finely chopped celery 1?4 Cup (4 tbs)
Garlic 1 Clove (5 gm), pressed / finely chopped
Butter/Margarine 3 Tablespoon
Fine bread crumbs 2 Tablespoon
Finely chopped parsley 1 Tablespoon
Ground thyme 1?4 Teaspoon
Salt 1?2 Teaspoon
Pepper 1?4 Teaspoon
Whole boneless chicken breasts 1 1?4 Pound, skinned and pounded to 1/4 inch thickness (2 Pieces)
Canned cream and mushroom soup 10 3?4 Ounce (1 Can)
Dry white wine 1?4 Cup (4 tbs)
Directions

1. Combine mushrooms, onion, celery, garlic, and butter in a 1-quart glass bowl. Microwave, uncovered, at Cook Cycle 1 (power level 9) for 6 to 7 minutes, or until vegetables are tender, stirring twice.
2. Add bread crumbs, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper to vegetable mixture. Stir to blend.
3. Spread half of the stuffing mixture in the center of each chicken breast. Roll up breasts and fold in the sides. Secure with a toothpick. Arrange roulades in an 10-inch round baking dish. Combine soup and wine and pour over chicken. Cover with wax paper. Microwave at Cook Cycle 2 (power level 10) for 11 1/2 to 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked. Let stand, covered, 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

I'm learning to cook lots in the microwave.
Those meals in a mug have some great ideas.
I bought one of those microwave dishes that you can grill in and have done pork chops and steak and salmon in it. All have turned out great.
A microwave is also great for heating up leftovers so if you have a slow cooker, make something delicious in it, and then divide into meal size portions, and freeze for another day.

Double ditto. Herself's lasagne tastes even better two days later reheated. Chili too.

The microwave oven. One of the most requested yet underutilized appliances in the average American kitchen IMO:).

There are certain raw food techniques that cook very nicely in the nuker:

Poached chicken which is great on it's own as a protein but also can be cooked ahead and frozen for use in stir frys, salads, a top noodles with sauce, stuffed into shells like tortillas, pita, wraps; fast soups and stews.

Me, LOL wrote:

Place in wave- safe container with enough chicky broth/stock to cover meat. Cover w/ plastic wrap; place container in nuker on high for 5-6 mins. Remove from oven leaving plastic wrap on and sit on the side for 30 minutes (the steam and hot liquid will continue the cooking process).

Whenever a recipe calls for cooked chicky (burritos;wraps; salad or noodle dishes,etc) half the battle is done.

The above is a basic technique which can be adapted to your taste as you like. Add whatever herbs, aromatics (garlic, shallots, onions) or seasoning you've on hand while cooking. Or enrich the poaching flavour by using broth or wine or beer or fruit juices instead of or in addition to water. It's your meal; eat it the way you like.

Fish fillets and eggs also poach easily in a microwave.

I know you asked for specific recipes so I'll check around my files and see what I can find. The work phone requires my attention for the minute.
