Cheap affordable - no oven or blender. Only stove top. Recipe.
Currently in a hotel and would like to cook an amazing dinner for my fiance. I only have a stove top. Looking for a recipe with minimal ingredients that will blow his mind. Any ideas?

If you want to make a dessert, you could make a custard like chocolate pots de creme (here's a recipe from a reliable source: https://www.davidlebovitz.com/chocolate-pots-de-creme-custard-recipe/) since it would have to be made in advance and chilled anyway. Poached pears are another nice advance prep dessert.
Instead of spaghetti as main course (I would find the boiling water difficult or cumbersome in a hotel), make chicken in wine sauce in a covered fry pan.
Use a rotisserie chicken and warm it in the frypan with other ingredients. Or buy cut up parts.
Red or white wine, a few vegetables, and ingredients to make its own sauce. Basic recipe link below.
Then serve with the rest of Phil's menu - bread, salad, sorbet or some other dessert you can pick up when you get the chicken.
