Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Put the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable bag. Pour half the marinade over the chicken and reserve the rest. Toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the potato pieces with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Roast the Potatoes: Roast the potatoes for about 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
  5. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil and sear the chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Pour the reserved marinade into the pan and cover.
  6. Cook the Zucchini: In the same skillet, add a splash of oil and sauté the zucchini slices for 4 to 6 minutes until tender.
  7. Assemble Meal Prep Containers: Divide the roasted potatoes, sliced chicken, and sautéed zucchini between four containers.

Notes

  1. For a twist, pair with pasta or substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option.
