Description

An easy and delicious way to enjoy flavorful, healthy meals throughout the week with juicy lemon garlic chicken, crispy potatoes, and tender zucchini.


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

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. For best results, let the chicken marinade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, toss the cut yellow potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until they’re golden and crispy.
  3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Allow the chicken to rest before slicing.
  4. Add the zucchini slices to the same grill pan and grill them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are soft and have grill marks.
  5. Divide the cooked chicken, roasted potatoes, and zucchini evenly into meal prep containers.

Notes

For best results, let the chicken marinate for 1-2 hours. Use fresh ingredients for enhanced flavors.
