Ingredients
- 2pounds boneless skinless chicken breastscut into 1” pieces
- 1 yellow onionchopped
- 1 green pepperchopped
- 1 red pepperchopped
- 1 pineapplechopped
- 1bottle (18oz per bottle) spicy BBQ sauce
To Freeze and Cook Later
- Label your freezer bag with the name of the recipe, cooking instructions, and “use-by” date.
- Add all ingredients except chicken to your gallon-sized freezer bag.
- Add chicken to your quart-sized freezer bag. (I freeze my chicken separately because it turns a weird texture when it’s frozen with pineapple.)
- Remove as much air as possible, seal, and freeze.
To Cook
- Thaw freezer bag overnight in refrigerator or in water in the morning.
- Add contents of both freezer bags to crockpot.
- Cook on “low” setting for 4-6 hours.
Probably a silly question: can you freeze the quart size bag inside of the gallon? OR should it be frozen separately?
I do it separately because it will get covered in BBQ sauce if it’s with everything else.
makes sense, thanks!!
I also freeze the gallon baggie inside another gallon baggie, along with these instructions. Nothing is touching, and I have the instructions at my fingertips. Since I’m new, I’m trying out all kinds of recipes on the family, and if they like one, I keep the instructions. If one doesn’t go over so well, I discard.
Absolutely. I have mentioned it in a previous response that I once managed a food prep business. We tried to keep all bags stuffed into one so they don’t get separated in the freezer.
Hi–Can you fix this recipe name? When you print it out, it leaves the name out and titles it “Serve with rice.” Thanks so much!
I’m wondering about freezing everything together except the pineapple and adding that at the time? I’m new. First prep happening now. Excited!!
Note to self: add more pineapple. I only had canned pineapple and to me it didn’t seem like it was enough. This is a keeper too! The BBQ sauce flavor comes out in the recipe. So choose one you like!
My daughter is allergic to pineapple. Any suggestions for a substitute in this recipe?
I swapped out the BBQ sauce for a bottled Teriyaki Marinade for a delicious Asian flavor. Yum!
What size crockpot should I use
I use my 6-qt most often
Can I use canned pineapple, and if so, what size can would you recommend? What about chunks or tidbits?
I’m new to your program, is there a way to pin the recipes to my boards on Pinterest? If not how do I save the recipes on your site other than bookmarking.
Thanks
Ann
Is there something I can substitute for the pineapple? I like the flavor of pineapple but I am not a fan of pineapple chunks in my food. Thanks!
Would canned pineapple work in this recipe?
Yep!
Wouldn’t it be easier to keep the pineapple out and add day of cooking?
I don’t see why not but it’s just another step. I like it all ready to just toss in the crock lol
What would the cooking instructions be for the instapot?
It would have helped me if it was stated 2 gallon size baggies and 1 quart size baggie..After filling each bag as noted, put each bag together in the other gallon baggie for freezing. I of course put the chicken bag in the gallon bag and had a little mess.
What is a good brand for a “spicy” BBQ sauce? What works well with this recipe?
Where do I find the label for this recipe to print?
We tried this. The chicken was awful, it tasted chalky. Had to throw out and order pizza. Everything else was tasty.
