Freeze Ahead: Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms

This is actually an adaptation of an old Weight Watchers recipe I used. (if you are on WW the only thing that has any points in it is the chicken and goat cheese if you use it). So, my freeze ahead meals are designed for my lifestyle. I usually spend either a long day or a weekend cooking for the week.

You will need:

4 chicken breasts
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 cups roughly chopped mushrooms of choice (Portabella are my fav)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 shallots minced or 4 chopped green onions or 1 chopped leek (or not all!)
freezer bag
(asparagus and goat cheese but not until the day you serve it)

Put raw chicken breast in the bottom of the bag.
Mix mustard, garlic and vinegar, then pour into bag on top of chicken.
Throw everything else in the bag and freeze it.

Fast forward to later in the week.... defrost bag however you defrost. (I put it in the fridge the night before).

When you come home from a long day with the kids, or work, or whatever exhausts you, dump the bag into a hot pan and cook it! That's it! Cook it until the chicken is done!

I don't eat carbs at night, but you can serve it with rice. My favorite is to empty the pan throw some fresh asparagus in the same hot pan, then serve it all together with goat cheese. I promise you..... this will make its way into your rotation!
