Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 11:31:47 GMT

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F (205C). Chop zucchini, red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Slice onion and peel garlic cloves. Now place all of the vegetables, onion, and garlic on a large baking sheet.

Step 2

Spray them with olive oil and toss to coat them as evenly as possible. Finally, add a pinch of salt and black pepper. Now, roast the vegetables in the oven for 45 minutes and make sure to stir them every 15 minutes.

Step 3

Now, get a saucepan while you’re roasting the vegetables. Bring vegetable broth to boil and add in the couscous. Cover it with the lid and turn off the heat, wait for 5 minutes until the couscous absorbs all the broth, and uncover the saucepan. Give the couscous a stir to make sure it’s light and fluffy.

Step 4

While vegetables are roasting, combine oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper with olive oil. Stir well, and it should form a nice paste.

Step 5

Take out your chicken breasts, gently pound them with a mallet if they’re a little thicker than usual. Cover them with the paste we’ve just made.

Step 6

Bake in a baking tray for 20 minutes. Make sure you cool it down before slicing it.

Step 7

Finally, combine couscous with roasted vegetables. Press in garlic and chop some parsley. Combine all the ingredients together and divide them into food containers.

Step 8

Top it up with slices of chicken. Store in the fridge while tightly sealed for up to 3 days.
