I buy boneless, skinless frozen chicken breasts in a bag. Thaw and marinate in several different marinages. Dh grills them all (usually 2 bags) early Sat mornings before it gets too hot out. I slice/shred/cube it and refreeze, so it is quick to thaw and ready to make into another meal. We then have enough chicken for a long time without cooking or heating up the house.
Something else I do is before bed, prepare a few whole chickens for baking. I then pop them in the oven @ 4:30. They are done in just under 2 hours. Repeat the process above.
We eat a lot of chicken, though. lol
Other ideas:
taco/burrito 'bar' (only cooking the taco meat, warming the beans)
chef salad (include chicken, deli meat, eggs for protein)
MYOsubs - we like to use french loaf from the grocer, light mayo, fresh ground pepper, turkey breasts, green leaf lettuce and red onion!
HTH!
