Seconded. I'm disabled, and find it very hard to cook regularly, and my health issues mean that I need to be eating very healthy food. If you have a large freezer, get a larger slow cooker than you'd otherwise need, and make large batches of everything, then freeze them in single portion microwaveable containers. Then if you're feeling rough, you can just pop one in the micro, and it's as simple as a ready meal, without all the rubbish that goes into those things.
My fridge/freezer has currently broken, but when I get a new one, I plan to buy lots of veg at once, and chop it all up on one day when I'm feeling good, and then freezing it, so it's like buying chopped frozen veg, but without the price tag.
Also, look into once a month cooking, you can adapt this to your own needs/freezer size. I'm planning on buying a big American style fridge/freezer, so I'll have plenty of room in the freezer. You can then have lots of portions of food in there waiting for the days you're not too well.
Anything that can be made in a slow cooker is usually easy. And you can make lots of it at once, so the chopping doesn't seem so bad.
