This gingery salsa chicken is my neighbour’s recipe that I adapted into a freezer meal. It’s got great tangy flavours. Since this is a make ahead meal, it’s a great protein to serve on busy weeknights.saucy chicken on rice next to carrots and green beans and text that reads "Gingery Salsa Chicken freezer meal"
