  1. A portion of this meal can be prepped ahead of time and frozen. Cut up the chicken and place in a Ziploc bag, chop the onion and place in Ziploc bag, mix up the spice blend and place in a Ziploc bag - then place all three into a gallon Ziploc bag, label and freeze. To serve - thaw in refrigerator for 1-2 days and continue with rest of the recipe.

Mix the Spice Blend

S:W White Chile - Spices Cut the chicken into cubes.  If I am freezing for future use I like to use a pitcher to hold my Ziploc bag which I can slide the chicken into.
