How to Make it Ahead

We are all about making meals ahead of time. It saves you so much time! Here’s how to prepare it ahead of time:

1. Cut up the chicken into bite-sized pieces. 
2. Place all the ingredients into a large plastic, zippered, bag. 
3. Seal the bag. 

Save it in your refrigerator until you are ready to cook it. It will all stay good for about a week. 

What to Serve with Honey Balsamic Chicken

Honestly, any of your favorite side dishes will taste perfect with it. Here are some ideas to get you started: 

• Rice

Fresh Green Beans Tip

If you buy fresh green beans from the farmer’s market or the produce department, you’ll notice that lots of them will still have stems attached. 

If you look you can find steamable bags of fresh green beans in the produce department. These are already snapped without stems. This saves you lots of prep time.
