Here are a few of my favorite Five ingredient or less dishes. Visit Rocks In My Dryer for lots more!
Quesadillas
I often put cheese on a tortilla and fold in half then warm in a pan. Another way to make these (which the kids can do almost alone) is to lay a tortilla flat, sprinkle with cheese, lay another tortilla on top, place on a cookie sheet and put in the oven at 375 degrees for about 7 minutes.
These are great for using up leftovers. Salsa, sour cream, chicken, and avocado are also great additions.
A few other Quesadilla combinations with 5 ingredients or less:
BBQ Chicken with Cheddar and Corn
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded roasted chicken
3 Tablespoons barbecue sauce
½ cup thawed frozen corn
2 green onions, thinly sliced
This should be enough to fill 4 10-inch or 6 8-inch tortillas.
Combine chicken with BBQ sauce. Spread over half of tortilla. Sprinkle corn, cheese, and green onions over chicken. Fold empty tortilla half over the filling. Bake in oven or skillet.
Turkey with Brie and Cranberries
(I have not made this one, but it is on my to-do list)
8 oz brie cheese, rind cut off, sliced.
5 oz smoked turkey breast
½ cup dried cranberries
Divide ingredients evenly between 4 -10 inch quesadillas.
Bake in on a rimmed cookie sheet at 425 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes.. Rotate cookie sheets halfway through. Watch carefully since Brie melts rather quickly. When the cheese has melted and the tortilla is golden brown, they are ready. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Baked Parmesan Chicken Nuggets - Adapted from from Sue Gregg
This has 6 ingredients - but it is worth the extra effort 
1 cup breadcrumbs (Put 1 slice of bread through your food processor to make breadcrumbs)
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
2 lbs boneless, skinless, chicken breasts.
1 stick butter, melted
Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt together (You can also all together in a high powered blender or food processor if you are using 1 slice of bread to make the bread crumbs).
Slice chicken breasts into nugget sized pieces. Dip pieces in butter.
Roll in crumb mixture.
Lay in baking pan.
Bake uncovered at 350̊F until tender, about 30 minutes. Be sure to slice a piece before eating to make sure it is no longer pink! Can also use this recipe for larger pieces of chicken. They will take closer to 1 hour to cook.
