Mix seasoning. I usually double it. Pour 1/3 over veggies. Stir well. Freeze or marinate over night. Pour other 2/3 over chicken. Stir well. Freeze or marinate over night. I also have cooked it immediately and it is yummy! Serve with salsa and chips. 

Cook veggies first then remove. Cook chicken then add veggies back at end before serving.
