For the Chicken
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 24 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts 4 (6-ounce) pieces
For the Sides
- 1.5 pounds yellow potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste
- 4 small zucchinis, sliced into 1-inch pieces
Method
Prepare the Marinade
- In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat thoroughly.
- Let the chicken marinate for 20 minutes or up to 24 hours for more flavor.
Prepare the Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the potato pieces evenly on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Toss to combine and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through.
Cook the Chicken
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid.
- Place the chicken in the preheated pan and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Cook the Zucchini
- Add the zucchini slices to the remaining marinade and toss to coat.
- In the same skillet used to cook the chicken, add the zucchini with the marinade.
- Cook on high heat for 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble Meal Prep Containers
- Once all components are cooked, divide the sliced chicken, roasted potatoes, and sautéed zucchini into four meal prep containers.
- Let them cool before sealing for storage.
