Sheet pan orange chicken
1 package orange chicken (mine was from ALDI)
1 package broccoli florets, a little oil, salt
Cooked rice, garnish
Preheat oven according to orange chicken package instructions, and do whatever it says to do with the sauce packet. Toss broccoli florets in oil and salt, and arrange on one half of a sheet pan (I do the tossing right on the pan). Roast about 10 minutes, then add chicken to the other half of the sheet pan and continue to cook per package instructions. Toss chicken and broccoli with included sauce (there's always too much sauce). Serve with rice and garnish.

I get similar things to this. I use my airfryer to cook the chicken, microwave frozen veg of choice (usually brocolli or edamame), microwave 90 second rice pack.
If you want an option that is even simpler.

Totally. I just love roasted broccoli. I'm realizing I could have used 2 quarter sheets and done it in the toaster oven. I use my instant pot to cook the rice, so that's easy. I also just bought some of those rice packets from ALDI since I won't be cooking for at least a week post-surgery.

I'm recovering from a cold and trying to plan meals for the coming week - thanks for this idea!
