WHY ENJOY HOISIN CHICKEN FREEZER MEAL

tip

HOISIN SAUCE CAN BE FOUND IN THE ASIAN SECTION OF THE GROCERY. IT'S INEXPENSIVE AND A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. IT'S ESSENTIALLY A SWEET, THICK, GLAZE USUALLY MADE WITH SWEET POTATO STARCH, SOY BEAN PASTE, SOY SAUCE, CHILI PEPPERS AND SESAME OIL.  IT IS NOT SPICY AT ALL. 

1

CUT CHICKEN BREASTS INTO BITE SIZED PIECES. 

2

DICE AND CHOP SHALLOTS OR ONIONS, THEN ADD IN YOUR PREFERENCE FOR ADDITIONAL VEGGIES. PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING BUT ZUCCHINI WILL FREEZE WELL. 

3

ADDING IN LAST THE SEASONINGS AND SAUCE. 

tip

I find the easiest way to peel it is to scrape the skin off with a spoon.  I tend to do this in large batches, mince the ginger in a mini food processor, and then freeze it until I need it.
