I don't meal prep that often, maybe a couple 
times a month, but my rotation is getting kind of stale. 80% of time it ends up being some variation of chicken 
breast, vegetables, and rice. The macros are good and it's easy but I want to mix it up some.
My other go to is chili (gringo chili because I use ground beef and dried spices 
lol). The ratio of effort 
to quality 
and quantity of output is insane. With 15 minutes of active work and another half hour to an hour of simmer time I can make like 8 servings of good tasting chili.

If you like chili you can look into goulash as well. Various cultures have one. Stifado is a greek one (the one I make has feta in it). If your side is pasta then you can easily freeze it together as one portion. Indian/thai curries work as well, though they most likely fall into the "chicken with veg & rice" stuff you use.
Casseroles in general. You basically need to learn which ingredients can be frozen and which can't. Like potatoe is bad. White/kidney beans bad.
If it's about saving time at home (so not microwave food @work) I can recommend doughs. I make multiple portions of naan bread and freeze the left over dough. Making it is like 5min (thawed) and I eat premade pickles with it.
