Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well-coated.
Roast the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and fork-tender, flipping halfway through.
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden sear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Cook the Zucchini: In the same skillet, add the sliced zucchinis. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender yet crisp.
Assemble Meal Prep Containers: Evenly distribute the roasted potatoes and sautéed zucchini into meal prep containers. Top with slices of the cooked Lemon Garlic Chicken. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the meal if desired.
