A delightful meal prep recipe featuring marinated chicken breasts with roasted potatoes and sautéed zucchini, perfect for a busy week ahead.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ½ 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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat thoroughly. Allow to marinate for 20 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread potato pieces evenly, drizzle with olive oil, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and toss to combine. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Prepare the chicken by removing it from the marinade and shaking off excess liquid. Cook in the preheated pan for 7 to 8 minutes on each side until golden brown and a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Add zucchini slices to the remaining marinade and toss to coat. In the same skillet, cook zucchini over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until softened and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble the meal prep containers by dividing sliced chicken, roasted potatoes, and sautéed zucchini into four containers. Let cool before sealing for storage.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least an hour, or overnight. Store leftovers in the fridge for 4-5 days.
