After I picked up my Zaycon Chicken order a few weeks ago I put together a few freezer meals and stashed them away for a busy night when I
Ingredients
3 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts {I used Zaycon chicken}
1 {26 oz} jar of spaghetti sauce
1 zucchini, chopped
1 sweet pepper, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
Directions
There are 2 different ways you can make this. You can load all the ingredients into a gallon sized Ziplock bag, lay it flat, freeze, and cook it in the crock pot at a later date or layer the ingredients in a foil pan, seal and pop in the freezer.
Crock Pot Cooking Method: Cook from frozen on high for 8 hours or until chicken is thoroughly cooked, or thaw overnight in the refrigerator overnight and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
Oven Cooking Method: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Cook at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until chicken is cooked thoroughly.
Serve over cooked spaghetti noodles if desired.

This sounds good -I needed a recipe for when my sister comes to visit and this would be so easy!

This looks great but I am wondering about if it is safe health wise to store raw meat with raw vegetables, especially poultry?

As long as they are fully cooked before eating, you should have no problems. I’ve been doing this my entire life and have never had an issue.

I have been freezer cooking with a group for over a year now. That cookbook is my favorite to use! Every recipe turns out great, and taste amazing.

I was searching for recipes to use zucchini with. This was AMAZING!!! MY husband, 19 year old, and 5 year old loved it!!
Definatley a repeat recipe! I do monthly cooking, so I may have to put it in the rotation 2 times next month! Thanks for sharing.

There are only two of us, so I cooked just one large chicken breast with this, which is plenty for us. I used a half-jar of sauce, and sliced celery instead of zucchini because I didn’t have the latter, plus the half-onion and two carrots. The chicken breast was frozen, but the veggies were fresh. I cooked it in my crock pot for 6 hours, shredded the chicken, and served it over fresh homemade noodles I’d made this afternoon. It is wonderful, but next time I will add more sauce and some garlic as well as light salt and pepper. I chopped all the veggies for another meal and I will dehydrate the leftover spaghetti sauce, add that to an already frozen chicken breast and more of those fresh noodles that I have left over and am also freezing, plus the added garlic, salt and pepper, because this is a big, big winner! The whole meal was very moist and flavorful, but really needs more tomato sauce than I used. My Hubs was very complimentary! Thank you!

Question: When you say 3 chicken breasts, do you mean the entire breast, or the breast after splitting?
Mavis says
I mean the breast after splitting! Hope that helps.

Could I dice the chicken and maybe cook less time after I thaw?
