Appetizer: salad with cold cuts (lettuce, colorful peppers, Persian cucumbers, toasted Ramen noodles)

Main: chicken or roast(depending on how much you want to spend)
Whole Green beans (in oven, add garlic cubes and olive oil. Optional: toasted sesame seeds before serving)
Basmati rice (in oven. You can do dinner done recipe or plain)

Dessert: ice cream/mousse pies, or chocolate pies/pareve cream cheese pies (both super easy and quick)

Roast: I usually cook overnight (about 7 hours) in oven on 225°. Put roasts in pan with salt, pepper paprika, garlic and lots of onions. Add red wine. (You can add sliced carrots if you want to!) Easy and super delicious! Take out in the morning. Cool and slice. Warm right before event. If you want to make ahead, you can do that and freeze after slicing. I like to thicken gravy with a couple of spoons of corn starch.
Chicken: most of my family like cutlets better than on the bone. Dinner done has a very good recipe for grilled chicken. Breaded chicken is delicious but more time consuming for a crowd. (You can prepare ahead and fry/bake day of)
For chicken on the bone, I have a lot of spices mix, I usually sprinkle one of them and add sliced onions, cook for at least 3 hours! Always delicious. If you want to prepare ahead buy fresh chicken, clean and spice. Take out from freezer night before your event and put in oven the day of! Increase cooking time if chicken is still a little frozen!
You can't go wrong with Duck sauce chicken.

Potato knishes roll. Roll out a yitzys puff pastry sheet. Smear mashed potatoes over the entire sheet. Roll up jellyroll style. Smear eggs and sprinkle sesame seeds. Bake at 350. Slice. Can be served with or without a sauce.
