Meal Prep: Citrus Baked Chicken with Peppers and Onions and Pasta

Hello all,
This week I am giving you two meal prep meals, both of which can be made separately or together and can give you 6 meals each!  The first one is my citrus baked chicken:

Ingredients Needed:

  • 1 family pack chicken thighs (no skin)
  • 2 green peppers
  • 2 red peppers
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 2 small-medium oranges
  • 2 small-medium lemons
  • 1 pack wheat angel hair pasta
  • spices (salt, pepper, garlic powder)
  • fresh parsley
  • garlic
  • olive oil
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 375 F
  • In a roasting pan, evenly space all chicken thighs (it is okay if they are touching)
  • Season to taste with the spices, fresh parsley and garlic and drizzle with olive oil
  • Juice one lemon and one orange into the pan and over the chicken.  Cut the remaining lemon and orange into slices and place over the chicken.
  • Put into oven for 30-40 minutes and finish for 5 minutes on broil
  • While the chicken is cooking, cook the pasta, and dice the green pepper, red pepper and red onion
  • In a large skillet heat some oil (coconut is preferred), and saute the peppers and onions until done.
Finishing the Dish:
  • Each container splits the pasta and vegetables evenly (a little more than a serving).
  • Each container also gets a chicken thigh, a citrus slice and 1-2 tbsp of the juices left over in the pan.
Voila! That is it. Stay healthy.
