I assure you it’s well worth the extra effort and will also save you a lot of money.

I am planning on trying some of these recipes this week. Is it possible to freeze these recipes?
REally good! I made it without the Rice, so i’m not sure how many calories to count it as.
Can this be heated up in the microwave from frozen? I want to make for my daughter for her dorm at college. She can only heat up in the microwVe.
Yes though it will take long to defrost in microwave. I’d suggest, if at all possible, to defrost overnight in fridge or on countertop 3-4 hrs before heating up in microwave.
That raw chicken touching vegetables makes me incredibly uncomfortable, even if its all going to be cooked raw chicken should not be touching anything else, thats very dangerous!
Beth The vegetables are being heated to the same temperature as the chicken, what part of that is dangerous? if there’s bacteria remaining in the vegetables, it’s going to be In the chicken too. use common sense? and if you lack that, google it beforehand.
Lmao damn you tell em Zak!!
what’s the texture of the rice after frozen
If I freeze the cooked meal, what do I need to do when it is time to eat the meal?
These look amazing, I can’t wait to try them!! thanks so much for sharing.
How much rice is calculated into the 524 calories per meal, 1C or 1/2C?
I made this recipe today and it was fantastic! I may add more spice next time but it was seriously so delicious and healthy! Do you know nutrition info on 1 serving?
Yes, just added the nutritional info under the recipe!
Is the nutritional info under the recipe for the 4 servings or 1? i’m on WW and when I calculated the points it came out to 16, so i’m hoping the info. is for all 4 servings. sorry about the all caps, it won’t turn off on my keyboard!
If you use frozen broccoli florets do they need to defrost or can bake frozen straight out of the bag?
You can bake them straight out of the freezer!
for how long???? In the oven at what temp. Can I nuke them to reheat them?
The first step is to pre-heat the oven to 450F. You can reheat in microwave, stove-top or oven as needed.
Can you repost the nutriTional Facts? I can’t seem to find them even after wAiting for it to load.
What kind of rice do you recommend with this?
Jasmine, brown or basmati work well.
