  2. Slice the bell peppers into strips.
  3. Open and drain the can(s) of peas.

  6. Prepare the cilantro and green onion garnish.
  7. Serve Chicken Green Curry over rice with cilantro and green onion garnish.

Freezeasy Meal Prep Directions

  1. Cut 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Slice 1 orange & 1 yellow bell pepper.
  3. Whisk together 4 – 15 oz. cans light coconut milk, 6 Tbsp red curry paste, 2 Tbsp curry powder, 2 tsp ground ginger, and 2 tsp garlic powder.
  4. Open & drain 2 cans sweet peas.

To each gallon-size plastic freezer baggie, add the following ingredients:

  • Half of the sweet peas
  • Half of the sliced orange bell peppers
  • Half of the sliced yellow bell peppers
  • Chicken pieces, half into each bag
  • Prepared curry sauce, half into each bag

Remove as much air as possible and seal. Add label to baggie and freeze.

Freeze & Thaw Instructions

Put baggie in the freezer and freeze up to 6 months in fridge freezer or 12 months in a deep freezer. Thaw in the fridge overnight, or a warm bowl of water for about 20 minutes.

Special notes

If you wish to make a thicker and creamier curry sauce, you could use a 15 oz. can of coconut milk and a 15 oz. can of coconut cream (near the coconut milk). This is NOT the same coconut cream that is on the alcohol aisle.
