If you love adding onion and pepper to recipes like we do, you will love this tip. Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop onions and peppers.
If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you make cooking so fast and easy.
I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.
This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.
Learn and how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen! Lots of the recipes we cook call for onions and peppers so this is such a great time tip that we use frequently.

I got a bunch of frozen chicken breasts when they were on sale, they are pretty thin already. Do you think I could make this using the pre-frozen breasts instead?
