Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup Chicken broth Can be added before or after freezing
  • 2 cups Mixed frozen vegetables (carrots, peas, corn blend)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper To taste

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, toss the cut chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
  • Combine the seasoned chicken and frozen vegetables in a large, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag. If adding liquid now, pour in the chicken broth.
  • If using a container, press out as much air as possible before sealing. Label the container clearly with the contents and date.
  • Freeze the meal flat for best storage until ready to use.
  • When ready to cook (from frozen or thawed), transfer contents to an Instant Pot or slow cooker. If cooking from frozen, add an extra 1/2 cup of broth if using the Instant Pot, or cook on low for 6-8 hours in the slow cooker.
  • If using the Instant Pot, cook on High Pressure for 8 minutes with a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then quick release.
  • Shred or dice the chicken and stir everything together before serving.

Notes

This recipe is highly versatile. Feel free to swap out the mixed vegetables for broccoli, spinach, or potatoes. Ensure meat in the slow cooker is thawed first for food safety.
