Sweet Asian Chicken

This is another freezer meal.  You basically make a marinade in a freezer bag, add the chicken and freeze.  I gave this as a gift and I included a bag of frozen stir fry veggies and rice to make a complete meal.  I also cut the chicken in to 1-inch pieces instead of leaving as whole chicken breasts.  Please note that this recipe makes 3 entrees which make 4 servings each.

Ingredients:
12 chicken breasts
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. lime juice
1/2 tsp. curry
3 tbsp. minced garlic
2 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Directions:
Rinse and trim chicken as desired.  Divide chicken evenly among three freezer bags
Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, and curry powder in a medium bowl.  Divide marinade evenly over the chicken. 
Measure 1 tbsp minced garlic and 3/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes into each bag.
Seal and freeze.

To use chicken:
Completely thaw one entree in the fridge.
Heat 2 tsp. of oil in a wok or a large skillet.  Stir-fry chicken over medium heat for about 25 minutes or until pieces pull apart easily or are no longer pink in the center.  Serve with noodles, rice, or sweet Asian coleslaw.
