Chicken+broccoli is probably the bee's knees of simple budget eating. It's one of the few ordinary budget meals that is very high in protein and overall good in macro-nutrients. You can do lots of stuff with it to keep it varied without going crazy. Steam/boil/fry your broccoli. Dress it up. Spices? Plain? Chicken will work with pretty much any spice combo. Throw some of that canned curry powder on. Paprika? Piccata-esqu? Do whatever. Brine it, or don't. You could do a whole week off just that.
