Through her tears, my friend told me her brother had just died. Visits and words of conso- lation are invaluable support to the bereaved while sitting shiva (the seven days of mourning observed by imme- diate family). An old tradition that provides further comfort is for neighbors to prepare a meal for mourners returning from the cemetery. It has also become customary for friends making a condolence call to bring food, usually cakes and cookies. But it takes more than sweets to stay physically strong to endure the emo- tional trauma. During shiva week, I have found that one- dish main meals are partic- ularly welcomed by bereaved families even though they in- sist "I couldn't eat a thing." Besides, eating together pro- vides a sense of normalcy. On that cold afternoon, I checked my freezer, surprised at the forgotten contents (it's a good idea to list contents and date when you stock the freezer and mark off when items are removed.) Within an hour, the rich aroma of roasted chicken and crisp browned potatoes filled my kitchen, and I could think of at least half a dozen more to cook. These meals take no longer than the time to bake a cake, and the recipes below are nei- ther fancy nor complicated. Try to "dovetail" appliances to drastically reduce cooking times. Potatoes may be par- tially baked in the microwave, then tucked in with chicken to roast in a conventional oven. Frozen meats defrost in less than 15 minutes in the microwave; then proceed with the recipe and finish off in your conventional oven. Use foil baking pans so you don't worry about the return of a fa- vorite baking dish. Here's what you can rustle up on an hour's notice. Recipes may be doubled. ROASTED DIJON CHICKEN AND CHUNKY POTATOES Dressing: 1 tablespoon honey 1/4 cup vinaigrette dressing 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 whole chicken breasts, split 2 baking potatoes, scrubbed, each cut in 6 chunks 1 large sweet potato, scrubbed and cut in 6-8 chunks Preheat oven to 400. Pour honey into small microwave- safe bowl. Heat for 15 sec- onds to liquefy. Whisk in vinaigrette dressing and mus- tard. Set aside. If chicken is frozen, thaw in microwave at High for 15 minutes. Pour vegetable oil into baking pan. Arrange thawed chicken breasts, bone side down, in a layer in pan. Spoon honey dressing over. Cover lightly with foil and place in pre- heated oven. Bake for 25 min- utes. While chicken is baking, place potato chunks on large microwave-safe platter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover lightly with paper towel. Cook in microwave for 10 to 12 minutes until begin- ning to soften. Tuck in be- tween chicken breasts. Baste with pan juices. Return to oven and bake 15 to 20 min- utes longer until chicken juices run clear when pierced with fork and potatoes are tender. Serves 4. Note: If kosher prepared honey mustard dressing is available, substitute 1/2 cup for dressing above.
