Smothered Chicken - Crockpot & Freezer Meal


I have not posted in over a week!  Our house has been filled with sickness for the past three weeks.  It started with me (I am still not 100%), it moved on to the hub and then to our little guy.  It's been miserable.  Hopefully by next weekend we are all feeling 100% again.

As for my fan-tab-ulous Smothered Chicken...  I went crazy one day and prepared 35 freezer meals in one day.  I will post on the entire process after I post all my recipes.  (That way I can link them all.)  This worked out great as a freezer meal and crockpot meal.  What's even better is that it latest us two days!
