📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts, coating thoroughly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. 2
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, toss broccoli, bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
  3. 3
    Place vegetables in the preheated oven. After 10-15 minutes, add the marinated chicken breasts to the same baking sheet (or a separate one if crowded).
  4. 4
    Continue roasting for another 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C) and vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly browned. Let chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  5. 5
    Divide cooked chicken and vegetables into four meal prep containers. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

💡 Notes

For a heartier meal, add a small serving of cooked quinoa or brown rice to each container. Ensure chicken is fully cooked before consuming. Reheat gently in the microwave or stovetop.
