Savory Herb Chicken Leg Meal Prep

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2.In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.

3.Add the chicken leg quarters to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.

4.While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Toss the broccoli florets and sweet potato cubes in a separate bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

5.Spread the marinated chicken legs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange the sweet potato cubes around the chicken, and place the broccoli on another baking sheet.

6.Roast the chicken and sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the sweet potatoes are tender.

7.In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli to the oven to roast until bright green and tender, about 10 minutes.

8.If desired, drizzle honey over the sweet potatoes for a touch of sweetness before serving.

9.Once everything is cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Divide the chicken, sweet potatoes, and broccoli into meal prep containers for easy grab-and-go meals.
