Description
A beautifully flavored dish with garlic and fresh lemon, perfect for meal prepping and busy days.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus 1 tablespoon for potatoes)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (plus 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (plus more to taste)
- 24 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 (6-ounce) pieces)
- 1.5 pounds yellow potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 small zucchinis, sliced into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cut yellow potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Add the chicken breasts into the marinade and coat well. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes. Then, cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
- In a separate skillet, add olive oil and sauté the sliced zucchini over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble Meal Prep Containers: Divide the roasted potatoes, chicken, and sautéed zucchini among containers. Drizzle any leftover marinade on top.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken longer. Cut veggies evenly for uniform cooking.
