Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Veggies
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 piece bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 piece zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
Toppings
  • Feta cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Tzatziki sauce (optional)

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they’re well coated. Cover and let it marinate for 15 minutes while you prep the veggies.
Prepare the Veggies
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, spread the cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
Cook the Chicken and Veggies
  1. Place the marinated chicken on another baking sheet. Roast the chicken and veggies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Assemble the Bowls
  1. In meal prep containers, start with a base of quinoa or brown rice. Top with sliced chicken, roasted vegetables, and a sprinkle of feta cheese and parsley. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce if desired.
Store or Serve
  1. These bowls can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the fridge for up to four days.

Notes

Feel free to substitute chicken with grilled shrimp or chickpeas for a vegetarian version. Marinate chicken overnight for maximum flavor.
