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!
