Recipe: Parmesan Chicken

Parmesan chicken in the crockpot?! Yes – and with some veggies, ta-boot! This quick and easy freezer meal is perfect for a busy week, especially when it’s cold and windy outside. Did winter arrive at anyone else’s door today? I think we’ve got at least 1.5 feet of snow! Okay, let’s get cooking.

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts
• large bag of spinach
• 1 big yellow onion
• 3 cups of freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 650ml jar of pasta sauce (yet don’t add to bag)
• 300g of pasta (again, don’t add to the bag)

First, dice the yellow onion into 1/2 inch pieces. Then, add the chicken, spinach, onion and the parmesan cheese into a large freezer bag – it’ll keep for about 6 weeks – well, that’s how long it took before I used it and it was great!

Then, when you’re ready, dump the bag along with a jar of pasta sauce into the crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, stirring every so often (if you don’t, you’ll just get a few little burnt onions on the side – feel free to let it cook while you’re at work!).

Once you’re almost ready to eat, cook up a batch of pasta and then either serve the chicken on top, or mix in the pasta – your call! I guess you don’t have to use pasta, you could use rice or even eat this on cheese buns – oh, that would be so good!

Top with extra cheese! This meal is hearty and warm, and packs up for leftover lunches super well.

Well, there you have it – one quick and easy freezer and crockpot meal. I hope you stay warm this winter – I can’t believe it’s already here and in full force. At least we have good eats in the fridge.

Okay, until next time – cook up and eat well. See you again soon.
