I can only assume you are buying your meat pre-boned and sliced or diced, chicken breast already removed from carcass etc, probably in some lovely single use plastic. In which case someone else did the prep for you, not sign there's less prep required. Veggies are less effort: peel some, chop into suitably sized bits. To compare like with like compare with pre-sliced and peeled veggies, or animal carcass before skinning and butchering. :) Something like a rosti with cheese or added spinach or cabbage is cooked meat speed fast and tasty, as are a whole host of the traditional leftovers recipes that grew up to use up spuds, carrots, cabbage etc next day.
