When baking/cooking boneless chicken breasts, one tip is to pound them to a uniform thickness in a large ziplock bag, or between two sheets of plastic wrap. They will cook evenly in a 400F oven in about 30 minutes.
Kajun Power makes some really great jarred meal starters that are basically, add meat, heat and eat.
Pork tenderloin are really inexpensive and they take marinade very well. They also cook quickly and will feed you more than once.

Start cooking. Go buy the ugly $10 pans from a restaurant supply store along with the cheapest utensils.
What do you like to eat? Google serious eats and your favorite foods.
Keep cooking until you have 10 dishes you enjoy that you can cook from memory. From there go into bbq/grilling/smoking and braising foods. Endless combinations from there.
Tacos are easy and delicious. Marinade meats over night.

Go to Costco and get while chickens.
Drop one in a crock pot with some bone broth
Don’t do this. Buy a rotisserie chicken and you don’t need a crock pot. Why would you spend more on a whole raw chicken?

Rotisserie is good. My post had to do with making a homemade soup since he was talking about soup.

I'm all for from-scratch, but you can also make a great soup with rotisserie chicken. Same with canned chicken breast.

What kind of equipment do you have to cook with?
Oven? Stove? Grill? George Foreman Grill? Toaster oven?
No matter how you cook your meat, get a $5-8 dollar instant read thermometer from the grocery store. It takes all the "doneness" guess work out of cooking meats.
From there, the easiest thing is season meat, throw it in a pan/oven/grill, and pull it when your thermometer says it's done.

Those bagged salad kits, esp the ones heavy on cabbage and kale, are a good foundation for a super fast meal. Add a couple of quartered hard boiled eggs for protein, or half a can of tuna. Voila, lunch is sorted. I mention the cabbage/kale based ones bc they hold up for a day or two after tossing w/dressing---the softer lettuces wilt pretty quickly once dressed.
Are you avoiding sodium for a medically prescribed reason? NOt everyone is sodium sensitive.
Try to "eat the rainbow"....eat leafy greens, carrots, etc. Choose fruit as a snack over something processed. Apples aren't expensive, last for weeks sitting in a fruit bowl on your counter, and combine well with peanut butter for a snack or a quick meal on the go.
Eggs are your cheapest protein source: learn to make scrambled, over easy, omelet (whatever you like best) and pair with toast & fruit for breakfast.

With Google and Youtube, learning to cook in college should be a no brainer. I used to call my parents or my grandparents to ask them how to cook things I liked growing up that each of them cooked for me.
