Into the bag now

  • 1.5 lb chicken breast
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 onion, sliced

Buy fresh, cook day

Bag it now

  1. Combine chicken breast, salsa verde, taco seasoning, pepper, and onion in a gallon freezer bag.
  2. Press flat, squeeze out air, label, freeze flat.

Cook day

  1. No thaw needed — Instant Pot handles it frozen. Dump the whole bag in.
  2. Pressure cook 15 min, natural release 5 min.
  3. Shred chicken with two forks right in the pot.
  4. Cook rice fresh, stovetop or rice cooker, while the Instant Pot runs.
  5. Portion: rice, chicken and vegetables on top — 2 dinners, 1 lunch for tomorrow.

Rice isn't in the bag — cook it fresh the day you eat this one.
