½ sweet potato
½ lb brussels sprouts
1 carrot
½ head broccoli
1 ½ lb chicken breast
olive oil, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

Steps:

  • Season veggies with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and garlic.
  • Season both sides of the chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, and the remaining rosemary, thyme, and garlic over parchment paper.
  • Seal parchment paper to keep chicken moist, and place on the center of the baking pan.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and veggies are done to your liking.
  • This meal works great with brown rice, so feel free to add some to your meal prep as well.
  • Unwrap and slice the chicken.
  • Separate veggies into each tupperware with chicken.
  • NOTE: If using plastic tupperware, allow food to cool down first

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around for things while you're cooking.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your pasta dish the best flavor. If you can, try to buy organic ingredients whenever possible.

  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in this recipe to your own taste. Add more garlic, salt, or pepper if you like.
