My meal prep lemon orzo bake is a game changer for healthy weekday eating. This is the ultimate one-pan, “set it and forget it” meal. It takes a few minutes to prep, 40 minutes to bake, and lasts in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s endlessly customizable, from the seasonings and veggies used, to the quantity of chicken, which can be increased to meet specific protein goals. There is nothing better than coming home from an exhausting day of work or a tiring workout and finding this meal ready to be reheated and enjoyed.

This is a complete meal, with lean protein from boneless skinless chicken thighs, carbs from orzo (orzo is a glutenous pasta shape like rice), and fiber and nutrients from zucchini. You can use chicken breast instead, but I prefer thighs for their superior flavor and juiciness.

Because this dish brings so much ease and simplicity to my weekday menu planning, I often bake multiple servings at a time in individual serving-size dishes. This recipe can be prepped and baked directly in an oven-safe dish; I cooked in oven-safe glassware which I could easily pop a lid on and store in the fridge.

And for the finishing touch, a dusting of parmesan completes this perfect meal. Let us know how you customize this dish in the comments below!

INGREDIENTS
The Chicken:
5 ounces cubed boneless skinless chicken thighs (1/2 cup)
1 ½ tablespoons plain yogurt
½ tablespoon lemon zest
juice of 1/4 lemon
½ teaspoon dry oregano
salt, to taste

The Orzo:
3 tablespoons orzo
pinch of salt
squeeze of lemon juice
6 tablespoons unsalted broth (vegetable, chicken, beef, or whatever your preference)
⅓ cup finely chopped zucchini

Additional Ingredients:
½ tablespoon grated parmigiano cheese
