How to Freeze Chicken
While freezing will make your chicken less tender and juicy, it is the perfect way to store the family-sized pack you bought at Costco last weekend. Remove the chicken from its original packaging and rewrap it tightly using aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or freezer paper. Double wrap if you are planning to store the chicken for more than two months. Ground chicken can last up to three months in the freezer, while chicken pieces can last up to nine.

Instructions
- 1In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the oil and warm until hot. Add the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until it softens, about 5 minutes. Add the lemongrass, ginger, curry powder, and sugar and cook, stirring, until the spices are fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the coconut milk, broth, and fish sauce and bring to a boil.
- 2Add the chicken, carrots, potatoes, and 1 teaspoon salt, and stir to combine. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken and vegetables are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Taste and season with salt if necessary. Serve over rice, garnished with the basil.
