Sweet and Sour Chicken Freezer Meal

Ingredients
3 large chicken breasts, cubed
1/3 cup reduced sugar ketchup
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 can low sodium tomato sauce
6 Truvia packets
1 can diced pineapple and juice (optional)

Directions

1. Throw all ingredients in crock pot, mix well, and cook on low for 6 hours. 
2. If freezing put all ingredients in a gallon-sized freezer ziplock (push any extra air out).
The day before you decide to cook the meal, pull it out of the freezer and let it defrost in the fridge for 24 hours. The day you want this for dinner, cook in the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.


Healthy Freezer Meals

I found these recipes on a website. I really want to try these recipes so here is the link of where got the recipes from. http://www.ringaroundtherosies.net/2012/02/freezer-cooking.html


Honey Lime Chicken

Ingredients:
-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, fat trimmed
-1.5 tsp garlic powder
-1 20 ounce can pineapple bites packed in juice not heavy syrup (keep 1/2 c. of the juice)
-1/4 cup honey (raw honey is best)
-Juice of three limes or 3 Tbsp lime juice (fresh will taste better but either will work)
-2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

Put all ingredients in the crockpot.  If you prefer your chicken diced, you can cut it into bite sized pieces before you put it in the crockpot.  I usually just put the chicken breasts in whole and then cut it when done, or shred the chicken – mostly just because it’s easier for me than cutting up raw chicken.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.  Serve with brown rice and fresh lime wedges to squeeze on top.

I found this online. I am going to try it.
