Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Pound the chicken breasts until they are an even thickness (about ¾-inch thick). Season both sides of the chicken with the garlic herb seasoning.
2
Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown on the outside. The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this point.
3
While the chicken is browning, wash the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Place the cut potatoes on a large baking sheet and drizzle with the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil. Toss the potatoes until coated in oil, then season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the potatoes.
4
Place both the skillet with the chicken and the baking sheet with the potatoes in the preheated 425ºF oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
5
After 15 minutes, add the frozen broccoli to the baking sheet with the potatoes. Return both to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165ºF and the potatoes are tender.
6
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then slice. Divide the sliced chicken, roasted potatoes, and broccoli between four meal prep containers. Refrigerate for up to four days.
7
To reheat, microwave each container for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through, then drizzle 1 Tbsp ranch dressing over top.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat chicken dry before seasoning and cooking to ensure better browning and crisper edges.
Cut potatoes to similar size (about 1 inch) so they roast evenly in 25–30 minutes alongside the chicken.
Season chicken and vegetables separately; the potatoes benefit from extra olive oil and Parmesan for flavor.
Add ranch dressing only at mealtime if storing; drizzle it over warm components to prevent the containers from getting soggy.

Substitutions

Frozen broccoli → fresh broccoli florets (increase roasting time by 5 minutes)
Garlic herb seasoning → Italian seasoning + 1 tsp garlic powder (use same amount)
Ranch dressing → Greek yogurt mixed with ranch powder (lighter option)
Small potatoes → sweet potatoes or baby gold potatoes (same roasting time)
