General Taos Crock Pot Chicken

General Taos Crock Pot Chicken

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
• 4 tsp minced garlic
• 3 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or more if you like hot)
• 1 16-oz package stir fry veggies

FREEZER MEAL DIRECTIONS:

Place chicken in resealable bag.  Combine remaining ingredients (except veggies), mix well and pour over chicken.  Freeze.  I put quart bag of chicken, with the bag of veggies, into a gallon ziploc so they were both together and handy.

DIRECTIONS FOR BAG:  Thaw.  Place in crock pot.  Cook on low 5-6 hrs.  Then add frozen veggies.  Recover and cook on high for 1 hr or until veggies are hot and chicken has reached desired tenderness.  Serve over rice. 

TO PREPARE WITHOUT FREEZING:

Place chicken in crock pot. Combine remaining ingredients (except veggies), mix well and pour over chicken.  Cook on low 5-6 hrs.  Then add frozen veggies.  Recover and cook on high for 1 hr or until veggies are hot and chicken has reached desired tenderness.  Serve over rice.
