I’m so excited to share one of the recipes from my freezer cookbook eBooks with you!

Every recipe in the cookbook can be prepped in 15 minutes or less.  Simply combine ingredients, freeze, and cook in your slow cooker or oven when you’re hungry.

Since there’s no cooking done ahead of time, the recipes cook for the very first time out of your freezer.  Finally, freezer meals that don’t taste like leftovers!

To Freeze and Cook Later

1. Label a gallon-sized freezer bag with the name of the recipe, cooking instructions, and use by date.
2. Add all ingredients to your freezer bag. (Add the chicken last so it’s the first ingredient dumped in to the slow cooker.)
3. Remove as much air as possible from the bag, seal it, and freeze it for up to three months.
4. When ready to eat, thaw enough to break apart the ingredients and add them to the slow cooker.
5. Cook on low setting for 6-8 hours.
