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
- In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate for 20 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. Spread potatoes on the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring halfway through.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess. Cook in skillet for 7-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (165°F/74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Add zucchini to remaining marinade and toss. In the same skillet, cook zucchini over high heat for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide sliced chicken, roasted potatoes, and sautéed zucchini into four containers. Let cool before sealing for storage.
Notes
For even more flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Feel free to swap in other vegetables or adjust spices to taste.
