Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place chicken pieces on one half of the baking sheet and broccoli florets on the other.
- Drizzle olive oil evenly over both chicken and broccoli.
- Season with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, tossing to coat.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, stirring halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in lemon juice, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), and red pepper flakes.
- Divide chicken and broccoli into 4 meal prep containers and drizzle garlic butter sauce over each portion.
- Garnish with parsley and let cool before sealing containers.
Notes
- Swap broccoli for asparagus, zucchini, or green beans.
- Use chicken thighs for juicier results.
