Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6-ounce)
Potatoes
  • 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
Zucchini
  • 4 small zucchinis sliced in 1-inch pieces

Method
 

  1. Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Add chicken to the bowl, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on the sheet.
  4. Bake potatoes for 30 minutes until golden brown, stirring once halfway through.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 7-8 minutes per side until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Remove chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Add zucchini to the remaining marinade and toss. Cook zucchini in the same skillet over high heat for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. Divide the sliced chicken, zucchini, and potatoes among four meal prep containers for assembly.
