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, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Marinate chicken for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss potato pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then bake for 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through; let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Sauté zucchini in remaining marinade in the skillet for 5-7 minutes until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Assemble meal prep containers with chicken, potatoes, and zucchini. Let cool before storing in the refrigerator.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, swap chicken with tofu or chickpeas. When reheating, consider warming the chicken and veggies separately to maintain texture.
