We really love this, but also really love it the second day. I am wondering how I could prepare at the day before and then heat up the whole recipe for company the next day.
I searched freezer, this popped up. Curious would I just add the chicken and sauce mixture, ranch and butter to the freezer bag, freeze than thaw? place into the instant pot following the directions? Thanks again 😊
Yes add everything except the noodles, cream and parsley to a freezer bag and freeze. Then defrost and make as directed.
Kid friendly and super easy to put together. I even forgot the cream at the end (oops) but still delicious. Thanks!!
Could you make this in the slow cooker? Am I ok to use frozen chicken breasts?
You should be able to cook the chicken in the crockpot and add the noodles by either cooking in a pot separately or adding them in the last half hour of cooking in the crock pot or until they absorb the liquid and cook. I would avoid using frozen chicken in the crock pot as they may not come to a safe temperature quickly enough
