Notes

Here are some of the other cuts of chicken that will work for this recipe.

  1. Chicken Breasts – You may want to cut them in half or into smaller pieces if they are big and thick.
  2. Chicken Thighs – A flavorful cut of chicken that you will enjoy.
  3. Chicken Wings – Another inexpensive cut of chicken that you will like.

How to turn this into a freezer meal:

In a gallon-sized freezer meal bag, add all ingredients. Shake bag so that chicken and vegetables are covered with seasonings as much as possible. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag closed. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last 60-90 days.
When ready to use, spray inside of slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker. Place the lid on top. Cover and cook on LOW heat for 6-8 hours (or HIGH heat for 3-4 hours).
