5 Slow Cooker Chicken Freezer Meals in Minutes (free step by step instructions)

I love cooking in my slow cooker. It can make life a lot less hectic. One of my favorite things about the slow cooker is that dinner is prepared early in the day and it frees up my mind.  I don’t have to think, “What are we going to have for dinner tonight” all day long. The worst part of making dinner is figuring out what to make, right?!  If someone would just tell me what to make or what they wanted for dinner I would be glad to make it.  So when I have a plan and follow through, it makes my day happier.  What is even better than a crockpot meal is a freezer crockpot meal.  All the thinking and prepping is already done.  I love to go to my freezer, pick out a meal, plop it in my slow cooker and turn it on.  This routine is especially appreciated on busy mornings or for busy working parents that won’t get home until 6 pm but still want a home cooked meal.

5 Slow Cooker Chicken Freezer Meals in Minutes (free step by step instructions)

I know there must be others like me that would love to have several dinners
prepped at one time.  I was able to do the grocery shopping for 5
meals in minutes and then prep the freezer meals and clean up in
about 45 minutes (but who’s counting). 


Today we will be making: 
Chicken Enchilada Soup
Asian Chicken Barbecue
Mustard Tarragon Chicken
Cheesy Chicken and Lentils
Chicken Sloppy Joes 

Because we are just using chicken in all the recipes it’s cheap and really fast to get these meals together. I like to shop for chicken when it’s on sale or buy it at Costco in the freezer section. The big bags of boneless, skinless chicken thighs at Costco are about $2 per pound and work wonderfully for these recipes.

    This is exactly what every busy parent needs! I usually do a good portion of my cooking for the week on Sunday, but I have to admit, I rarely put together a bunch of freezer meals unless I am making double of what we are cooking for the week. I need to start doing this more…it would make my life so much easier!
