my boyfriend is an EXTREMELY picky eater. All he eats is;
mac and cheese
french fries
grilled cheese
rigatoni
pizza
chicken nuggets but they must be fast food. he wont heat up the kind you put in the oven. and he refuses to eat chicken tenders.

what is a simple recipe i could try?
 
A can of cream of chicken
1 cup of broccoli
1 cup of baby carrots
1 cup of cauliflower

Bring the cream of chicken to a boil & add the vegetables. Cover and cook for about five minutes. You can also add rice if you want. About 1 to 2 cups.

Another one is 2 cups of rice, 1/4 tsp of pepper, 1/4 tsp of paprika, 2 cups of broccoli and a can of cream of chicken. Boil the cream of chicken & add the rest of the ingredients. Cover and let cook for five minutes.

Ooh. And this one!
Make mac n cheese as you normally would.
After the mac n cheese is done, add 1 can of cream of mushroom, 1 can of peas (drained), & 1 can of tyson chicken (drained) and bring to a boil while constantly flipping the contents of the pan. Don't stir because the mac n cheese will burn. Cook for about five minutes. It's delicious!

you could make a pizza together..
just buy a ready made pizza base from the super market
a tube tomatoe puree
cheese
and what ever toppings you want

spread the toamtoe puree thinly over the top of the pizza base, sprinkle on your grated cheese and other toppings if you choose to use them (ham& pinapple, pepperonni whatever you like) and pop it in the oven for 15-20 mins :)

How about a Papa Murphy's pizza that you could put some of his favorite toppings on and customize it so he likes everything on it? You could put fast food chicken nuggets on it, tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, onions, more cheese, and anything else he may like on it. It will be his custom made pizza and he can be as picky as he wants about what he puts on it and you might even like it also. You can bake it yourself in the oven and cook it the way you like it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it so I will stop writing and go have a pizza.
