Ingredients
Scale
- 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)
- 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
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 everything together until you have a beautiful marinade ready for the chicken.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the cut yellow potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure each piece is evenly coated.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully submerged. Marinate for about 15 minutes. Then, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for around 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Alternatively, bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
- Cook the Zucchini: While the chicken cooks, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and toss in the sliced zucchini. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
- Assemble Meal Prep Containers: Divide the roasted potatoes, chicken, and sautéed zucchini among your meal prep containers. Drizzle some leftover marinade for extra flavor.
