quick weeknight dinners work for me! 3/25/08- this was made for freezer tag in the OAMC forum and they asked me to post the following, "To freeze: Prepare recipe as directed through step 3. Place chicken in a freezer bag and seal. Pushing out as much air as possible. Allow sauce to cool and place in its own freezer bag. Place both bags inside one large bag, seal, label and freeze. To serve: Thaw in fridge. Cook as directed in recipe. The cooked chicken can be frozen as well. Just allow to cool, then place in a freezer bag."
