    Every Tuesday afternoon my twins have drama class until 6pm. Between dropping them off, picking them up and spending time with my youngest, I don't have a lot of time for dinner prep. Enter my crockpot. If you have ever cooked with a crockpot then you know how it just simplifies the entire dinner prep process. I get this Mexican Crockpot Chicken prepared around 2pm when my kids are at school. It takes just minutes to get all the ingredients in the pot. Then I set it on high and contnue with my day. When we get home from drama practice we have a delicious meal that was easy to prepare.

      Nancy, I have never tried to freeze it, but have refrigerated and re-warmed it after a few days.
