Italian Chicken and Vegetables Meal Prep

This easy keto Italian chicken and vegetables dinner is perfect for meal prep for a busy week – it portions well and reheats easily, without drying out the chicken!

I personally love these easy to clean, bpa free reusable containers – they are dishwasher safe, stack easily, and don’t stain or warp.

How to reheat Italian chicken dinner

You can easily take this chicken to work to microwave, or cook in a toaster oven.

Whether microwaving, pan frying, or heating in a toaster oven: if possible, remove chicken from refrigerator and come close to room temperature, about 10-20 minutes before reheating.

While this might be difficult in some situations, it helps your chicken cook faster and more evenly to be closer to room temperature when reheating.

In a microwave, microwave on high in 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until piping hot – about 2 1/2 minutes.

In a toaster oven, place in a foil pouch over a toaster oven tray. Microwave at 400 degrees until piping hot – about 1 minute, 45 seconds.

To pan fry, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large nonstick pan. Add chicken to pan and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until piping hot – about 6 minutes.

Easy Italian Marinade

This easy Italian marinade is perfect for chicken and makes a great dressing or sauce, too – not just as the marinade and sauce for this low carb chicken and vegetable skillet.

To make the Italian chicken marinade, simply blend all ingredients well and store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to one week – or freeze in cubes for easy to thaw servings for later!

We also recommend this marinade with our garlic butter pork tenderloin, air fryer chicken drumsticks, and even when making London broil!

You will use about 3/4 cup of this marinade mix, leaving some leftover.

• 3/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup red or white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
