Hello! Hopefully this isn't a done to death topic, or if it is it isn't annoyingly so. If it is please tell me and I'll remove it!

So I am starting a masters program soon with a very aggressive course load. I have been thinking about a relatively keep-me-aliveable, easily makeable for a week, at least somewhat inexpensive food I can make in one evening that'll last a week.

What I currently have as an idea is:

• 3 cups uncooked brown Botan calrose rice.
• 5 pounds uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast.
• 10 cups spinach or kale.
• 2 cups uncooked dried garbonzo beans
• 6 tbsps olive oil

Which would produce 7 servings at about 800 calories each. The downside is this would be about half the calorie intake I should have daily at a minimum, and mostly because of the chicken and rice choice isn't particularly cheap. It would not be crazy expensive, but not what I'd call "cheap".

It would however be fairly filling, and would be pretty reasonably nutrient dense for the calorie cost. It is also something that could be made nearly entirely untended with a rice cooker and crock pot.

Any thoughts, or suggestions to improve the idea without transforming it into something that would be cumbersome to make?
