Ingredients
  

For the Garlic-Herb Chicken
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 unit juice of 1 lemon
For the Rice
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth or water
For the Baby Potatoes
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes halved
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
For the Veggies
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups bell peppers sliced

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Medium Saucepan
  • Skillet
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add jasmine rice and toast for 1-2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, add salt, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes.
  4. Step 4: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.
  5. Step 5: In the same skillet, add olive oil, broccoli florets, and sliced bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender but crisp.
  6. Step 6: In meal prep containers, divide cooked rice. Top with sliced chicken, roasted baby potatoes, and sautéed veggies. Cool before sealing for meal prep.
