When I was single I used to cook a shitload of chicken breasts with just basic seasoning and use them throughout the week for different recipes. Or just heat up and pick a sauce. I had a shitload of sauces

Maybe it’s just because it’s a childhood thing but I can crush some hamburger helper. You don’t deserve the help from this thread

Brown some chicken in a cast iron skillet. Pour cream of mushroom soup diluted with half can of milk or half and half over it. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Eat over rice or noodles. Add favorite veg canned or frozen and Texas toast.

Oh, please, the only person responsible for eating that mess is you. Make better choices, eat better food. Buy better groceries, eat better food. If you don’t buy mass produced garbage, you won’t eat mass produced garbage. Even rural Walmarts deliver these days. You can buy fresh produce and better quality frozen stuff even at WM.

Circling back here to say that the supermarket rotisserie chicken is your new best friend. Easily, 4-6 meals off of one chicken for a single person.
—eat it fresh, as chicken. Make some mashed potatoes: buy Yukon gold potatoes and you don’t even have to peel them. Cut into chunks, boil until tender, mash with butter, cream or milk, and black pepper. Steam some broccoli as a side....you can buy the steamfresh in a bag that goes directly in the microwave.
—slice some off the bone the next day and eat it cold atop a Caesar salad (buy a salad kit if you canNot figure out how to make a salad)
—pull some off the bone and make chicken quesadillas. Buy flour tortillas, some MX cheese blend or pepper jack cheese, and salsa: easy to assemble in a skillet and you can load it up with sautéed peppers and onions if you like.
—pull off a leg/thigh section and add it to instant ramen while it cooks. Voila. Add garnishes to the bowl as you like: chopped green onions, etc.
—Pull all the remaining meat off of the bones, chop finely, mix with mayo, mustard, dill relish, Tony’s, etc for chicken salad, If there wasn’t much chicken left, add chopped hardboiled egg to stretch it.
One $5 chicken can get you through a week, with sides and a little effort. Or, if you like to grill, buy a fresh chicken and spatchcock it and use it as the basis for a week of meals. Cooked chicken is your culinary blank slate.
That's about as simple easy soup as a single guy new to cooking can get.

Welcome to being fat

For just me, it’s foreman time.
Bag of whatever steamed veggies from the freezer, A one to two pound package of chicken or chops or whatever.
Throw the veggies in the microwave for 6 minutes. Tony’s on the chops, 4 to 5 minutes on the foreman. Some bbq sauce and everything is done in 6 minutes with one plate to clean.

Thanks to everyone for their ideas. I do appreciate it and was looking forward to trying something new while my wife was away for 120 days. However, I realized that all I do is make a mess and it's just not for me. Hell, I've never ran a dishwasher in my life.
And no, I'm not fat. On Day 2 of 120, I will throw something dead on the grill. Thanks for your assistance.

And you’re optimistic that your spouse is actually coming back? Can’t see how a grown arse man would reach adulthood without learning basic cooking skills or acting as though cleaning up after himself is some sort of horrible struggle. Hamburger helper uses one freakin skillet, you had one plate and fork to wash. Oh, the struggle.
Cleaning fish, cleaning weapons, field dressing deer: plenty of “manly” cleaning for you to practice if the dishes seem like too much of a challenge. You can work up to it.

Maybe she took the opportunity to leave for a while so he could learn a few things about helping around the house and taking care of himself.
I hope he knows how to do laundry!
