Rotisserie chicken can be used a myriad of ways. You can even buy pre-shredded chicken breast.
Frozen vegetables are fantastic. You don’t have to worry about whether they’re ripe or about to go bad, and they’re already washed and cut up. You can even get chopped onions and bell peppers.
Frozen fruits make it easy to keep fruit on hand and use just what you want. Frozen avocado is great, because you can thaw just that the amount you want without having to worry about the rest turning black.
Canned veggies are great, too. You can get canned tomatoes that are already diced.
Minced garlic in a jar is great and keeps for a long time in the fridge.
Canned meats are another great protein option, as are canned beans, but canned beans tend to do better when rinsed. I like the fat-free version of black-eyed peas.
You can choose from a wide assortment of frozen meals, plus canned options like soups, stews, chili, etc. I might mix and match, like start with some Trader Joe’s frozen fried rice or frozen dumplings, dump some frozen onions and peppers on top, along with some frozen veg from a stir fry blend, cook until warm (assuming your base is labeled as pre-cooked), and then top with Trader Joe’s furikake, sunflower seeds, teriyaki sauce, etc.
Meal packages like Hamburger Helper or Knorr Rice/Noodles and Sauce are great. With Hamburger Helper, you just brown the beef and then add the “helper” to the pan to provide some kind of starch and seasonings. Similarly, start cooking the packet as directed, and then you can add a canned protein and whatever veg you want. There are a lot of flavors to choose from, but here are some combos I like:
Cheddar Broccoli Rice a can of chicken and some frozen broccoli
Chicken or Creamy Chicken Rice with a can of chicken and a can of mushrooms
Butter and Herb Pasta with a can of tuna, onion, and sugar snap peas
A lot of your suggestions are really low quality and very high in sodium. Really need websites - this is not helpful to someone who would buy a bag of frozen vegetables and then not know how to cook them in a way to make them taste good.

I was buying a book at Barnes and Noble, recipes requiring only 5 ingredients. I set it down when instead I saw a recipe book requiring only 3 ingredients. Good luck Op!

I love Pinterest. You can type in "easy simple one pan recipes" or "simple five ingredient recipes" or whatever it is you are specifically looking for.

I like All Recipes. Identify one or two you like and really learn to make it.
All Recipes is free and I thinks it’s well organized.
Good luck!

Many "simple" recipes still require a ton of chopping, sauteeing, and washing dishes.
Meant to say they can branch out as they gain confidence.

This is for someone with very severe learning disabilities and a small bare bones kitchen. Oven, stove, microwave only. They can handle no more than two burners at the same time, or one burner and oven. Not great with too many different ingredients and can't dice (small motor skills).
Going through recipe websites to pick out easy recipes is overwhelming. Any ideas?
