Weight Watchers Salsa Chicken Make Ahead Freezer Meal

To start, you will need a gallon sized zip top bag. If you are going to be doing a lot of freezer meals, you definitely need a bag holder, which will allow your bag to stay open hands-free when you dump in your ingredients.

After you have added in all of your ingredients, remove any air from the bag and squeeze it shut and seal the bag. Store the bag in the freezer. I like to make sure the bag is lying completely flat in the freezer. This saves a ton of freezer space, and if you are making many freezer meals at once, allows them to stack on top of each other.

When you are ready to cook your Weight Watchers Salsa Chicken make ahead freezer meal, simply open up the bag, dump the contents into the crock pot and discard the bag. Set the crock pot to cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.

When you have 30 minutes left in cooking time, add some shredded cheese to the top. I used a Mexican blend cheese, but feel free to experiment and use a lower fat or fat free cheese. Of course, if you do add cheese, be sure to adjust the point total. Without cheese, this Weight Watchers Salsa Chicken Make Ahead Freezer Meal is zero points.
