I had so much fun making this video for you! It took me an hour to film, so if I was just making these 5 chicken freezer meals withOUT filming, I think I could have done it in about 35 minutes! 🙂 And honestly, my kitchen wasn’t even that big of a disaster! So if you’ve never done freezer meals before, this is a great set of freezer meals with CHICKEN to put together!
As promised, I have a shopping list for you below! However, because of space limitations here, I can’t list out directions for each recipe, but I have them linked to my website below so you can print them. Each recipe has prep directions as well as how to prepare from the freezer. **And I’m adding timestamps of the recipes below – let me know if you like this feature!**
Don’t’ miss out on my tips and kitchen hacks throughout the video, and let me know what YOUR favorite freezer meals are below in the comments!
