Best Freeze Ahead Slow Cooker Chicken Kale And Rice Recipes
SLOW-COOKER FREEZER-PACK BBQ CHICKEN SANDWICHES
Chicken thighs are the ideal slow-cooker meat because they emerge tender and juicy, even after hours of cooking. The sauce is a guaranteed kid-pleaser: Rich, sweet and low on spice and tang. Make a couple of batches to keep in the freezer for busy weeks when you know you'll have limited time for meal prep.
