Freezeasy Meal Prep Directions

  2. Seed and dice 2 red bell peppers.

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

  • 4 small boneless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper
  • Half of the diced onion
  • Half of the diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup Thai peanut sauce

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, before transferring all of the contents in the baggie to a skillet and cooking over medium low heat for 15 to 18 minutes, until the veggies are softened and the chicken is cooked through. If needed, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water or chicken stock to keep sauce from thickening too much.

Special notes

Look for Thai Peanut sauce on the Asian aisle at your grocery store.
