An ordinary student who lives an ordinary life has every day the same procedure: It is getting home from school, being tired and exhausted, and especially not having the motivation to cook anything, since you did already enough for the day. 

It is not our fault that 24 hours per day are too few to take the time to make a healthy homemade meal. 

However, we are not going to a university to give up, but to find solutions. The solution in this case is to find cheap and fast cooking ingredients which still supply our bodies, and especially brains, with nutritious food. 

In Jamie Oliver style, I will show you that it is possible to cook a tasty dish for dinner, or lunch, in 15 minutes. 

My idea for today is to cook Chicken with a Tomato-Vegetable-Sauce and Couscous. 

The chicken breast, the tomato sauce, which is the only instant-food ingredient that I will use, the frozen vegetables, and onions, you can find in every random supermarket. They are very affordable, and the positive aspect is as well that the amount you buy can be used at least three or four meals. 

I chose as a side couscous since it is comparable to rice, but it is basically done in two minutes. 

There are just a few spices needed, such as seasoned salt, a little bit of black pepper, Italian Seasoning, and garlic powder. The tomato sauce already has a good taste and this is the reason why there is no need to put a lot of extra spices in there. 

First, I cut the onions and fry them with medium heat in Olive oil. You can also use every other oil, however, olive oil has the best flavor. Then I put the Chicken, which I cut in small pieces, in the pan. As next step, I add all the spices mentioned above to the chicken, and the onions. 

Further, I add the unfrozen vegetables to the chicken. If you do not like vegetables, just leave them out. After heating up all of the ingredients, I put lastly the tomato sauce in the pan. I let it seethe on a very low heat for about four to five minutes.

Meanwhile, I cook the Couscous. I put one cup of water in a bowl, and add one small teaspoon of salt. Whenever the water boils I put ¾ of a cup of Couscous in the water, and let the Couscous soak up all the water. This takes usually just two to three minutes. 

The whole process only took me 15 minutes. The advantage is that I cooked an amount of food which can be eaten as well the next day, so I basically cooked for two days already. 

One advantage of home-cooking is that it is cheap because you cook for at least two days. Another one is that it is especially healthy since you choose by yourself what you, and not any other food company, put into your body. 

Do it, and enjoy what you created by yourself.
