Dinner Doctor Nina Simonds shows you how to gather the ingredients for a quick and healty pesto chicken dinner with vegetables and couscous.

Special: Read Nina’s Passover article in the Washington Post, Tradition, With a Twist.

TIP: My standard easy dinner is to buy a roasted chicken and if it isn’t very tasty, I can smear it with pesto before I reheat it in the microwave.

You can pair it with any vegetable- not just broccoli- and frozen vegetables keep their nutrients as much as fresh. ENJOY!!!

Dinner Doctor is one of my alternative identities. In some cases, it’s a bit like Dr. Phil meets Nina. Here the challenge was to walk into any good supermarket, spend 5 minutes or so and come out with an appealing, easy, healthy meal. You can’t believe how easy it is and its FUN!!! Let’s face it, like everyone else, making dinner every night is a DRAG!!! (even for a cook) This was my effort to help people with ideas.

Filming this episode in the supermarket was a lot of fun! My favorite part was placing the camera on a tripod into a shopping cart and following Nina around the store.
