    Rosemary Citrus Chicken Meal Prep

    This post is a part of my 5 Easy Chicken Marinades where I share how to prepare 5 new chicken marinades ahead of time and freeze them. Here, I’m showing you just how I turn the marinaded chicken breasts into a meal! This Rosemary Citrus Chicken Meal Prep is quite a refreshing dish – is so light and the acid gives it such a fresh flavour.

    To make this rosemary citrus chicken into a full meal prep, I served the chicken alongside cinnamon roasted sweet potatoes and parmesan broccoli. Everything is made in the oven on a couple of sheet pans so it’s easy and speedy with minimal clean up!

    What I served this rosemary citrus chicken with

    I really wanted the rosemary citrus chicken to shine in this meal prep but I also wanted to make sure the rest of the sides were flavourful as well. To add an extra layer of flavour, I had covered some diced sweet potatoes with cinnamon and then roasted some broccoli before topping it off with some parmesan. I should have grated the parm on top of the broccoli for better coverage but I had them in sliced and I was too lazy to grate them up so it’s up to you on what you want to do.

    Tips for making the perfect rosemary citrus chicken meal prep

    • Marinade the chicken for at least 30 minutes (preferably overnight). If you want to do a quick marinade and you don’t mind how the chicken looks, I suggest piercing the chicken breasts with a fork or a knife (carefully!) so let the marinade go deeper into the chicken breast.
    • If you don’t have fresh rosemary, the dried version is a great alternative.
    • I cooked my chicken breasts on a different sheet pan to keep the liquids from the chicken from making my sweet potatoes and broccoli soggy
    • If you want the cook time for the sweet potatoes and broccoli to be the same, just dice them smaller
