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, mix together the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. This aromatic blend will infuse the chicken with zesty flavor. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag, pour in the marinade, and massage it gently to coat. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes, or even overnight if time allows!
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: While the chicken soaks up those lemony flavors, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the diced yellow potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they have space to roast properly. These will become golden and crisp while providing a hearty base for your meal.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and place it on a grill or a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). This ensures juicy, flavorful chicken! If you prefer, you can bake the chicken alongside the potatoes for the last 15-20 minutes of their cooking time.
  4. Cook the Zucchini: In the last few minutes of cooking the chicken and potatoes, heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchinis, sprinkling them with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until they are tender and vibrant. The quick cook will retain their bright color and keep them crisp.
  5. Assemble Meal Prep Containers: It’s time to bring it all together! In meal prep containers, layer the roasted potatoes first, followed by the lemon garlic chicken. Finally, top with the sautéed zucchini. This simple presentation not only looks enticing but also allows for easy access during meal time.

Notes

For better flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
