Everlasting Meal by Tamar Adler transformed my approach to cooking and meal planning. Kitchen Counter Cooking School by Kathleen Flynn was another that gave a strategy and technique for doing what needs to be done to get palatable and healthy meals on the table. If you need total handhold ingredients, Leanne Ely has a Saving Dinner book series that provides shopping lists and a schedule of seasonally inspired weekly menus.
If your chicken is dry, it may simply be over cooked or it could need brining. I like the "don't outsource" comment above because you can absolutely become a great home cook if you want to.
