Ingredients
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 medium yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 medium red onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, broccoli florets, and red onion.
Add the minced garlic, olive oil, dried Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl.
Toss all ingredients together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Divide the mixture evenly into four freezer-safe zip-top bags or airtight containers.
Seal the bags or containers tightly, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
Label each bag or container with the date and contents.
To cook, thaw a freezer pack overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the thawed contents of one freezer pack to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
Serve hot with your choice of side, such as rice or quinoa.
