Healthy Mama BBQ Chicken Freezer Meal Recipe

Healthy Mama BBQ Chicken
adapted from Stephanie of mamaandbabylove.com

Ingredients:
5 medium unpeeled red potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces, about 2 cups.
2 large green peppers (red, orange, or yellow also work well), cut into chunks, about 2 cups.
1 zucchini, chopped, about 1 cups.
1 medium onion, chopped, about 1 cup
2 tablespoon quick cooking tapioca (or flour, or some other thickening agent).
3-4 chicken breasts
1 (15-oz) can of tomato sauce
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Place everything into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Mix around, making sure all vegetables are coated with some sauce.  Make sure as much air as possible is removed from bag. Label and lay flat in the freezer.

Freezer Meal Label:
Day of cooking, thaw on your counter for 30-60 minutes, or until it can easily be removed from the bag. Place contents into your slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender. Serve over egg noodles or rice, if desired.

Notes:
I included the chicken in a separate bag because it was pre-frozen. I just labeled one bag (1 of 2) and the other (2 of 2) to make sure they remembered to add the chicken (and stir sometime during cooking).
