    I just bought 9 small chicken thighs and a big bag of casserole vegetables. Put everything in an oven dish, a little bit of oil just to prevent the chicken from sticking to the dish, some spices and herbs, salt. Cover with aluminium foil and cook for 60 minutes in the oven. That's all. For dinner I just took a serving, put it under convection grill combi for 15 minutes and it was warm again and the chicken had a crispy skin. Small serving of rice to go with it. Perfect for a couple of days.

    I'm another vote for cook it yourself. I've never had frozen prepared chicken I enjoyed, and you'll also pay more for it. You can slice up a breast or two and pan saute it in 10-15 minutes with a little oil and whatever seasoning you like. Garlic and lemon and pepper is great!

    Honestly, it's one of the reasons why over the last 2 years and almost 40 lbs of weight loss I've eaten a lot more red meat, because frozen burger patties are microwave friendly and chicken breast isn't.

    If you happen to live in Texas (very very long shot) HEB has an entire line of pre-cooked meat products under their Hill Country Fare brand. I don't remember what the line is called, I don't eat meat often, but it's alllllllll good stuff, and you can't miss it.

    The price is quite a bit more than buying a five pound bag and cooking the breasts yourself (I recommend an instant pot for that, super fast and supposed to give you moist and tender chicken breast), but reasonable compared to the brand name stuff.

    It's already been mentioned, but I'm going to reiterate it. Crock pot. Not only can you easily prep your chicken in it, but you can make all sorts of actual meals in it: Soups, stews, roasts, etc. etc... the list is pretty endless, and all stuff you could package up into take-and-eat containers. If you have room in your dorm (or wherever you will be staying), then I totally urge you to invest in one.

    Another vote for the Tyson green bag :)
