Za'atar is an awesome shortcut ingredient for quick batch cooking, blending earthy herbs and tangy sumac that makes weeknight dinners effortless. Solving this meal prep question is super important to me because getting chicken seasoned and popped into the freezer saves my sanity on busy weeknight cook sessions. You can definitely season your chicken with it, toss it with some olive oil, and freeze it for your weekly containers without any issues.

Za'atar is a traditional Middle Eastern spice blend featuring wild thyme, toasted sesame seeds, sumac, and salt.

Yes, you can certainly use it to season your chicken and freeze it in your meal prep containers. The oil and herbs help protect the meat during freezing.

Freezing zatar chicken works fine unless your freezer decides to go on strike. I think it tastes okay afterward though I am not entirely sure about the science.
