My first frozen slow cooker meal was a success but it did have its downfall. I woke up to an empty slow cooker on and hot (I apparently couldn't use the timer correctly). It was fixed this morning before I left for work in hopes that it would work properly, thank goodness it did or I'd have a hungry boyfriend!

| Meal in freezer bag |
Lemon Pepper Chicken
- 1.5 lbs. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 Cans of green beans (undrained)
- 5 Carrots peeled and chunked
- 4 Tablespoons of butter
- 2 Cups of water
- 2 Lemons sliced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 Tablespoon pepper (or to taste)
- 1 Teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1.5 Cups rice (I cooked this after I got home from work)
Combine all ingredients except for the rice in your freezer bag and freeze. The night before you're ready to cook this meal take it out and put it in the refrigerator. Dump the ingredients from the bag into the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.

The chicken was pull apart tender and juicy and a knife was not even needed. The vegetables were tender and cooked thoroughly. I did however use 3 sliced lemons in this recipe and the lemon flavor was a tad bit overpowering so I cut the lemons back to 2 for the recipe for you to follow. If you like the lemon flavor go for it, never be scared of flavor! Trial and error is what makes food great and no one will ever be perfect.
Stay tuned for tomorrow - Ranch Pork Chops and Potatoes
