Meal prepping
There are a few different ways to approach meal prepping depending on what works with your schedule.
- Cook for the upcoming week: You can make a large quantity on your day off and portion it out for lunches or dinners. Store in individual containers and reheat as needed.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time: This is a great option if you’ll be cooking at the end of a busy day or right after work. You can chop up your vegetables the night before and store in the refrigerator until you need them. Measuring out spices and dry ingredients or making any sauces you might use can save you time as well.
- Turn leftovers into lunches: If you’re already making dinner, divide what’s left over into smaller portions, or double the recipe and put into individual containers for the rest of the week.
For this recipe, you’ll be cooking the chicken and vegetables in a large batch.
This way, you can divide them up immediately into meal prep containers, or eat some first and save the rest.
How to make the one pan roasted chicken recipe
- First, line your baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Chop up all of your veggies and arrange them in a single layer on your pan.
- Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Then, use a mixing spatula or large spoon to toss the veggies so they are evenly coated.
- Toss the chicken breasts with oil and spices, then lay them on top of the veggies. Be sure there is plenty of space between each one. As a result, they will all cook evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. If you’re meal prepping, divide the chicken and vegetables into equal amounts and place into individual containers.
Frequently asked questions

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 3 days.

OMG! This is my new go to meal! It was so good when I made it for the first time this past Saturday, it inspired my family to begin “Mediterranean Mondays.” Added benefit? Prep and clean-up is a breeze!
When did you add the paprika? It’s not listed in the instructions?
I will adjust the recipe to clear further confusion. Thanks for pointing it out!
I did not see the nutrition information for the Mediterranean chicken recipe. Or did I miss it?
Soon it will be added. Thanks for asking 😉
I use a lot of turmeric in my cooking because of the health benefits
Would adding it to this dish be okay
Yes totally. It’ll test even better 😉
