For some standard chains I really like the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains # TH2004205080 for the 195/65R15 tires on your 2011 Toyota Prius. These are fairly easy to install and the self-tensioning feature means that these will sit snug on your tires.
If you're looking for something a little fancier then check out the Konig Easy Fit CU9 # TH04115080 which are arguably the easiest chains to install on the market. You literally drape them over and then step on the tensioner to tighten them down.
Both of these chain recommendations are rated for on road use only. We do have some chains rated for on road and off road purposes like part # TC1830 but if you're planning on taking a Prius off road I'm not sure how much chains are actually going to help to be completely honest.
It's always a good idea to check your copy of the owner's manual for any rules or guidelines when it comes to using chains.
