Before my fourth baby was born I decided to stock my freezer with 40 homemade freezer meals. I split the meals into three separate prep sessions so it really wasn’t that hard to do. The third session included making a bunch of chicken crockpot freezer meals with my mom, and here’s how we did it…
If you want to see the first two freezer meal prep sessions, you can find them here:
- Pre-Baby Freezer Meals – Part One (15 beef/pork crockpot freezer meals)
- Pre-Baby Freezer Meals – Part Two (10 casserole-type freezer meals)
Here are the 15 Chicken Crockpot Freezer Meals that we made:
- Artichoke Chicken
- Chicken Enchiladas
- Chicken Spinach Alfredo
- Chicken Tikka Masala
- Cilantro Lime Chicken
- Cranberry Chicken
- Honey Bourbon Chicken
- Honey Garlic Chicken
- Honey Mustard Chicken
- Orange Chicken
- Parmesan-Crusted Chicken
- Salsa Verde Chicken
- Thai Chicken
- White Chicken Chili
- Zesty BBQ Chicken
Here’s what I loved about making a bunch of chicken crockpot freezer meals at once:
- All of the recipes were super easy to make. We just combined the raw ingredients in gallon-sized plastic baggies and stuck them in the freezer.
- They were budget-friendly. (I decided to use organic chicken breasts from Costco, but making these when chicken is Buy One Get One at the grocery store would be awesome too.)
- All of the recipes are family-friendly and delicious.
- They are all awesome freezer meals for new moms or anyone expecting!
Overall, it took my mom and me less than 2.5 hours to make all of them, and that included taking photos, bossing my mom around the kitchen (sorry, Mom!), and cleaning up.
I really enjoyed making these chicken crockpot freezer meals and I can’t wait to eat all of them!
Oh, and since these chicken crockpot freezer meals are all recipes from my Crockpot Chicken Freezer Meals eCookbook, I have photos of what the meals look like when they’re done cooking! YUM.
You got my daughter started because she was having their first child and I was unable to be there to help out with meals. Now she has me hooked on the one or two day shopping and prep work so that I can enjoy the same delicious meals more often as well. Thank you..
I’m so glad, Donna. That’s awesome.
Saw you on PTL yesterday! Can’t wait to try these recipes! 🙂
Yay! 🙂
The recipe in the attachment and the ingredients on the bag for the cranberry chicken are different… I’m going to wing it and try the one on the bag with the exact measurements… the fresh cranberries and orange zest sound good!
The one in the photo is the one I used from my new eCookbook.
Do you add any water to the crockpot?
Not unless it says to on the recipe.
What to you use as the “use by” date?
Three months from the prep date.
The link to download the recipes and grocery lists has completely different recipes than the 15 listed above. Am I doing something wrong?
I agree… why are they completely different?
As stated above the printable, “If you want to make a bunch of chicken crockpot freezer meals, but don’t want to purchase the eCookbook, I compiled a list of 17 other chicken crockpot freezer meals that I love with a free grocery list.”
