Chipotle Chicken - Crockpot & Freezer Meal

We have been crazy busy with football and baseball and I am super behind on my blogging responsibilities... I'm hoping to complete some projects this weekend.  It's like tackle football all over again!  I will survive.  This is short lived, only three and a half more weeks of flag football.  I can make it.  

This picture doesn't do it justice.  It is actually quite tasty.  I find it best cooked in the oven once thawed.

Teriyaki Chicken - Crockpot & Freezer Meal

This was super good.  I bet it would be great served over rice, if you liked rice.  lol.  I found it super good as is.  I found that it is better to thaw and then make in the crockpot so you don't have to add water (if it were frozen) and thus making it too watery in the crockpot.

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!
