Typically every week I cook chicken breasts for dinner – but always make leftover so I can morph them into something else. This is such an easy lunch or dinner idea – literally ready in 10 minutes. I do have a few shortcuts to make it go faster too! Using storebought marinade makes this jerk chicken and vegetables so easy to make!

Marinades and spices can really make plain chicken breast a million times better. The marinade I’m using for this is one you can find at your local store – Lawry’s Brand Jerk Marinade. (You can use this marinade too to make shrimp tacos!)

Instructions
- Wash the baby potatoes and microwave for 2 minutes.

Notes
Another perfect example of how easy it can be to eat great and have a big portion and eat healthy!
If you don’t have an air fryer – all of this can be heated up in a skillet. I would saute the vegetables and potatoes first, then add the chicken for the last 5 minutes to finish cooking and heat through.
