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

Instructions

  • 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.
