Lemon Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 white onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Baked Veggies
- 2 sweet potatoes peeled, diced
- 2 cups of broccoli
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- pinch of black pepper
Fresh Veggies
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes
- Dill chopped
Chop the onion in chunky pieces, peel garlic cloves. Add them to a blender, pour in chicken stock, lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, and add in salt with pepper. Blend until one smooth texture.
Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch chunks and combine them with the marinade in a large bowl or Ziploc bag. Keep refrigerated for at least 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C).
Mix 1 tbsp olive oil with paprika, salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, and garlic powder. Peel sweet potatoes, dice them into ½ inch cubes, and coat them with the mixture we‘ve just made.
Bake them in the oven for 35 minutes. Add in broccoli with 25 minutes to go (10 minutes later). Drizzle broccoli with 1 tbsp of olive oil and add a pinch of black pepper. Let the vegetable bake for another 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet and add in the chicken with marinade. Cook for 13-15 minutes and make sure to stir it the whole time until the chicken is golden brown.
Chop cherry tomatoes as well as dill. Cover the tomatoes in dill.
Divide lemon chicken and vegetables into 3 food containers equally. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
