Need quick(ish) dinner ideas for family

I'm looking for new meal ideas for our family to try. Trying to get out of bad (old) habits and return to better ones. My family prefers chicken or beef dishes. Dishes that can be fixed in under an hour are preferred. Thanks!

Pre-cooked frozen grilled chicken (you can buy these or prep them yourself) and microwaveable steamed veggies - Dinner in less than 10 mins.

I use my grill almost exclusively in the summer. I prep all my meat on grocery store day (usually Sundays) whether it be to marinade, season, chop, skewer, ect. Most of the time I have to freeze some of it, because the packages are bigger than we need for two people. We frequently do steamed veggies or a garden salad. I chop all my fruits and veggies for the week on that day as well. I also grill larger meat quantities on Sunday and Wednesdays for work lunches. I will also cook rice or a potato for my husband. I usually can microwave a baked potatoes and throw it on the grill and rice cooks quick. I always make dinner in 30 mins or less.
