One of the most popular posts on our blog is our “Dump and Go” Slow Cooker Freezer Meals. You literally assemble the necessary ingredients together in a large ziploc bag, toss it in your freezer, and then when you are ready to make it, you just dump it all into your slow cooker and dinner is done! I have been testing out some new recipes for our next freezer meal installment and this one is definitely a keeper! It’s so easy to throw together, but more importantly it’s full of flavor. My kids love it in burritos, I put it on salads, and my husband used it on nachos. Whatever floats your boat- anything goes with this chicken!
This recipe can easily be made into a freezer meal that literally takes only a couple of minutes to prepare. Check out the video below to see how easy it is!
