Chicken - whole, cut-up, turkey - legs, breast, etc.

Vegetables & fruit in season, choose variety of colour.
Then you'll have endless combinations to choose from.
Pick a protein, starch, & match with a vegetable.
Secondly, vary your method of cooking:
Casserole, slow-cooker, pressure-cooker, stir-fry, etc.
Check recipes to try different ethnicity of flavor:
