To Freeze for Later:
- Place all ingredients into a freezer bag and squeeze out as much air as possible. Store flat in the freezer for up to 6 months.
To Cook Now:
- Pour contents of freezer bag into slow cooker. Note: if you've opted to freeze this meal, allow the freezer meal to fully defrost before pouring into crockpot. I simply move the freezer meal to the fridge 1-2 days in advance to allow it to thaw completely.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6 hours.
- Chop or shred the chicken prior to serving. See serving suggestions to make this a complete meal.
Notes
