To Make Ahead

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 (16 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large sweet potato, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

Combine chicken, chickpeas, bell pepper, sweet potato and onion in a 1-gallon, resealable freezer bag.
