Chicken Cacciatore (Crock Pot and Freezer Meal Options!)

I got this recipe several years ago from my sister Annah!  It's super quick to put together and it cooks in the crock pot! I recently adapted it for a freezer meal night and my family loved it.  It was so nice to pull this out on a snowy day and just throw it in a crockpot and let it do it's thing.  It's pictured over rice but it's equally good with pasta.

Ingredients:

3 chicken breasts

½ sweet onion (sliced)

1 green bell pepper (seeded and sliced)

1 tsp. sugar

2-3 tsp. Italian seasoning blend

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

¼ cup shredded parmesan

Regular Prep Instructions:

Freezer Meal Prep Instructions:

Combine all ingredients (other than cheeses) together in a gallon sized freezer bag. Massage gently to combine all ingredients.  Place shredded cheeses together inside a small freezer bag.  Place chicken bag and cheese bag inside of another gallon sized freezer bag.  Label and freeze.
