Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the red potatoes on the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well and roast for 30 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crisp.

2. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown but not fully cooked through. Set aside.

3. Lower the heat to medium. Deglaze the pan with vegetable broth, scraping up browned bits. Stir in honey, whole grain mustard, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle boil.

4. Return the chicken to the skillet. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (about 8 minutes). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

5. In the same skillet, add the green beans. Cover and cook on medium heat for 4–5 minutes until bright green and tender.

6. Divide the sliced chicken, roasted potatoes, and green beans evenly into four meal prep containers.

Notes

To prevent dryness when reheating, add a splash of water before microwaving and loosely cover the container.

Swap green beans with broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus for variety.

You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option—adjust cooking time as needed.
