Freezer Friendly Chicken Recipes
As summer approaches, families often become very busy with summer activities such as camps and swim teams. Some of these activities have families getting home later than normal, and eating dinner on the go.
Summer is supposed to be relaxed and laid back, but the reality is that kids are often scheduled for activity after activity. Freezer meals are the perfect solution to the summertime dinner rush.
The recipes below were inspired from a recent buy one get one free sale at the grocery store for boneless, skinless, chicken breasts. All of the recipes are designed be cooked now and frozen for later. However, they can just as easily be enjoyed tonight!
