Fuel Your Week: Easy High-Protein Meal Prep for Busy Families

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken dry. In a bowl, toss chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet.
2. 2

   Roast chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice or dice.
3. 3

   On a separate baking sheet, toss diced sweet potatoes and broccoli with 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and slightly charred.
4. 4

   Rinse quinoa. Combine quinoa, water/broth, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
5. 5

   While cooking, prepare the dressing: whisk ¼ cup olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and pepper until well combined.
6. 6

   Assemble bowls: Divide quinoa, chicken, sweet potatoes, and broccoli among 4 airtight containers. Drizzle with dressing just before serving, or store dressing separately.
