Restaurants do this sort of thing all the time. The FDA food code would simply require the vegetables, and anything else that touched that chicken, be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 165 for them to be safe. That's pretty conservative, but I tend to agree.

Conditions that must be met for this to be safe:

  • Chicken was out of the fridge or freezer for no longer than 30 minutes

  • The time from when the chicken first came out of the fridge or freezer to when the chicken-juice-contaminated vegetables went into the freezer was no longer than 30 minutes.

  • the time from the chicken coming out of the fridge or freezer to when the chicken-juice-contaminated skewers went into the freezer was no longer than 30 minutes.

  • the chicken is not kept in the freezer for more than a few weeks

  • the chicken is immediately cooked after exiting the freezer
