Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • Juice of 2 lemons + zest of 1
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 2 cups roasted veggies of your choice

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or overnight in the fridge for maximum flavor.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Cook chicken for 20 to 25 minutes in the oven, or 6 to 7 minutes per side on the grill pan.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices locked in — don’t skip it.
  • While the chicken rests, roast your veggies at 400°F for 20 minutes with olive oil and seasoning.
  • Cook your grain of choice according to package instructions.
  • Assemble into 4 to 5 meal prep containers: grain base, sliced chicken, veggies, fresh parsley on top.
  • Seal, refrigerate, done. Easy healthy lunch meal prep achieved
