❄️ Freezer Prep

Add the ingredients

• Place the chicken, frozen peas & carrots, Italian seasoning, and water into a gallon-size freezer bag.

Seal and mix

• Seal the bag tightly, removing as much air as possible. Gently massage everything together so the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Freeze

• Label the freezer bag with the recipe name and cooking instructions, then lay it flat in the freezer until ready to use.

🥣 Cooking Instructions

Thaw overnight

• Transfer the freezer meal from the freezer to the refrigerator the night before cooking.

Slow cook

• Pour the contents of the freezer bag into your slow cooker.
• Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 4–6 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Shred the chicken

Make it creamy

• About 1 hour before serving, stir in the softened cream cheese until completely melted and smooth.

Add the pasta

Finish with cheese
