Currently at 153lbs and my ultimate goal is to make a drastic ( good ) change in the next 6 months and hit 170lbs. Im not complicated when it comes to meals , ill eat the same thing everyday if that will get me to my goal. finally what are some good lean meals that will get me to 170lbs. Im in good shape but just want to take it to the next level.

There aren't any. Lean bulking has more to do with a low daily calorie surplus than what foods you eat.

Having said that, there will be certain foods that fit your personal macro goals better than other.

My meals are boring, banana on toast, whey protein, beans on toast, potatoes and chicken, cereal with semi skimmed milk, oats and semi skimmed milk make up the bulk of my food during the day.

What are you eating now? Eat more of it. Maybe add some more calorie dense foods.. carbs: pasta, noodles, dried fruit. Fats: oils, full fat dairy, nuts and nut butters, and higher fat cuts of meat.

I am right up there on the "BOOOOOORING!" list...not a problem. Consistency is key, right?

There aren't any, you pick the foods you enjoy and fit it in your calories intake which should be your maintenance + 250-500 calories (depending how many years of lifting you have under your belt, the newer you are, the more you should be near 500 calories, the more experienced you are, you should be near the 200-250 calories mark).

During the week I stick to basically the same inexpensive foods. Chicken, beans, eggs, rice, fruits, veggies, cottage cheese, yogurt, peanut butter, 1% milk. Weekends I’ll change it up and have some Shrimp, Fish and lean steak. Not being picky with what you eat will help IMO.

Lean bulking meals: whatever puts you in a slight surplus while hitting your macros....

I had to gain quite a bit (coming out of treatment for anorexia) and I stuck to really simple meals because I'm a terrible cook and I didn't want to be bothered. In the right portions, my meals were about 800 cals. Some things I usually ate -

Breakfast
cottage cheese, granola, peanut butter, fruit with 2 eggs
toast with peanut butter, fruit, 2 eggs
bagel with cream cheese, fruit, breakfast sausage

Lunch/Dinner
quesadilla with cheese, chicken, beans, veg and chips with guacamole
sandwich with lunch meat, cheese, hummus, veg and a cup of soup
turkey chili with a sweet potato and cottage cheese
teriyaki rice with grilled shrimp, edamame, avocado, peanuts and veg
omelette with cheese and sausage, hash browns, topped with avocado
chicken strips, corn, broccoli with cheese

If I ever needed more calories at a meal, I'd drink a protein shake too (just protein and water.)
