First, change your idea of the word healthy, because it does not have the same meaning for everyone. I suggest defining exactly what it is you are trying to achieve (i.e., weight loss, less saturated fats, more balanced diet, etc.).
Now, for planning easy meals that are delicious, nutritious, and not covered in bacon and melted cheese, it's actually quite easy, and I think anyone can do this, regardless of experience.
this isn't in itself unhealthy, so long as you do so in moderation.

Disclaimer: For chicken, pork, or beef, this is assuming it is a solid cut of either (i.e., breast, chops, steak). There are many other types to choose and cooking methods, but I am limiting the options strictly for clarity. I also won't be covering any other proteins in this comment, but I can get into that more if requested.

All of these can be pan fried. Use a stainless steel pan, or any other pan that is not non-stick. Pan fry on med to med-high heat, using about one tablespoon of oil per piece of protein, until minimum safe internal temperature is reached. Buy and use an instant read thermometer!
Once cooked, set it aside on a plate to rest (ideally on a wire rack in a quarter sheet pan; completely optional). Since you didn't use a non-stick pan, you should be left with some brown bits on the bottom of your pan. Pour about 1/4 cup liquid into the hot pan over medium heat (water, stock, white wine), add more if it evaporates quickly, scrape up the brown bits. Whisk in accumulated meat juices. Off heat, whisk in two tablespoons of acid (vinegar, lemon juice), whisk in two tablespoons of butter. Taste first, and then season lightly with salt & pepper, and then taste again. Welcome to the wonderful world of pan sauces. Pour this over the protein, and/or over the veggies/starch.
Cooking the veggies

Disclaimer: This does not apply to spinach or peas

Clean and cut veggies into bite-sized pieces (about one inch). Even cuts is the key to even cooking. In a large bowl, toss the veggies with some oil, salt, and pepper. Spread veggies onto a half-sheet pan in a single layer and roast in a 425F oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until veggies are soft, or cooked how you like them. You will have to experiment with the size of your cuts, the oven temp and time. Some veggies take longer than others (carrots). You can try broiling at the end to get more browning, but don't walk away.
Cooking the starch
Potatoes can be tossed with oil, salt & pepper in the same bowl as the veggies, and then cooked right along with the veggies in the same half-sheet pan. They usually take longer to cook than, say, broccoli, so cut the potatoes a lot smaller than the broccoli, and it should all be done at the same time.
Get yourself a couple half sheets with an encapsulated rim. They're not expensive and they don't warp.

It’s ok to put one of these on a stove?
They just seem designed for the defuse heat of an oven, not the concentrated heat of an electric stove?

I use these and they are great
I'd recommend just tossing them in olive oil and your seasonings. I usually do mine at just under about 1/4 inch thickness. They might stick a little bit, but these pans are phenomenal. Just make sure you wash them the second you get them.

I like these. Don't know how good they are for baking cookies unless you use parchment, silpat, or a silicone liner. but these are heavy and durable!
