Slow Cooker Freezer Meals is my new favorite way to cook! Recently I found 10 new recipes and assembled 15 Slow Cooker Freezer Meals Chicken within 1 hour! Yep, 1 hour is all it took and I have 15 meals from 10 new recipes. A couple recipes I doubled to make extra. Depending how much we have for left overs, that could last us a whole month.
Before you begin prepping, make sure you have plenty of room in your freezer!
I love my slow cooker. Anytime that I can pop something in in the morning and have dinner ready for us in the evening, is awesome! My husband and I are also on Medifast so we need to get in one Lean and Green meal per day. Having these Slow Cooker Freezer Meals ready is a life saver. No more going through the drive through because I can’t figure out what’s for dinner!
So are you ready to jump on board and try out some new recipes? These are all chicken to make the shopping list a bit easier. That and chicken is easy and healthy!
If you’re new to Freezer Cooking, make sure to read up on my Crock Pot Freezer cooking and other Freezer Meals that I’ve posted. Now on to the new recipes.
10 New Slow Cooker Freezer Meals Chicken

I love this! I love the idea of getting healthy meals ready in the freezer for those days you know will be busy. Also love that they are healthy!
Linda Bradshaw says
Wow, I am definitely doing this. I love freezer meals. I have to move my freezer in from the garage soon. Once I do, I will have to stock up on freezer meals.
Sharon says

Ruth Griffeth says

Sara Theissen says
So excited about these! Chicken is my favorite meat. I could eat it everyday lol
GL Long says
Yeah! No more boring chicken. I am going to try several of these recipes. Thank you!
Alicia says
Just wondering in your recipes do you need to cut up the chicken breast or leave them whole?
Dawn says
I usually leave them whole. Once they are cooked, it’s easy enough to shred or cut up while still in the crock.
Cindi says
i love crock pot meals but sometimes wish the chicken wouldn’t get that shredded texture. Can I use the recipes and just out in a pan for the oven instead?
Dawn says
I’m sure you could, Cindi. All the crock pot is doing is heating it through so I’d think you could do the same in a caserole dish in the oven.
Olivia Douglass says
Thank you!! We always eat chicken and I am always looking for new recipes.
