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: In a large bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the potato pieces on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season them with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess. Cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Cook the Zucchini: Toss the zucchini slices in the remaining marinade from the chicken. Add them to the skillet and sauté on high for 5-7 minutes until softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble Meal Prep: Divide the sliced chicken, roasted potatoes, and sautéed zucchini into meal prep containers. Allow cool before storing in the refrigerator.

Notes

For best results, marinate the chicken overnight. Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge.
