Ingredients

For the sheet pan chicken

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded thin (4 breasts)
  • 2 ½ cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

For the lemon ricotta pasta

  • 8 ounces pasta your preference
  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup parsley finely chopped
  • 1 lemon juice and zest
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425 F. Arrange thinly pounded chicken breasts and broccoli florets on a sheet pan. Brush the chicken with olive oil on both sides. Drizzle olive oil over broccoli to coat. 
  • Season chicken and broccoli with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Sprinkle over parmesan cheese. Drizzle over lemon juice. Place lemon wedges under and on top of chicken breasts and broccoli florets, if using. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • While chicken and broccoli are baking cook pasta according to package directions and combine all lemon ricotta ingredients in a bowl.

  • Cut the chicken into bite size pieces and divide the ricotta and broccoli pasta into 4 meal prep containers; serve with chicken on top.
