Notes

To Freeze:

  1. Add all ingredients (except the chicken broth) to a large, labeled freezer bag or container.
  2. Seal tightly and remove as much air as possible.
  3. Freeze flat for up to 3 months.
(Freezing the broth separately helps prevent overflow in the bag and makes thawing faster.)

To Cook from Frozen:

  1. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
  2. Dump everything into the crock pot, add the chicken broth, and cook on Low for 5-6 hours or High for 3 hours, until the chicken shreds easily.
  3. Shred, stir, and serve with toppings of your choice!
