    Crockpot Freezer Citrus Chicken Meal is an easy super that the whole family will love.  We loved the citrus flavor on a warm summer night.  It was light and refreshing.

    This is a Paleo and Whole 30 Compliant Recipe that is also gluten free.  Be sure to use 100% Orange Juice with no added sugar (or just squeeze your own oranges). You can add additional red pepper flakes if you like it spicy.

    Slow Cooker Citrus Chicken is light and fresh entree that is perfect when you are eating healthy.

    To prep this meal, use a gallon size zip loc freezer bag.  In a freezer safe storage bag add all ingredients except the orange slices. Freeze. When ready to cook thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Place all ingredients in the slow cooker and add fresh orange slices. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.  Salt and pepper chicken before serving.

    Be sure that you invest in a good quality slow cooker.  Our favorite is this programmable cook and carry 6qt oval slow cooker.  You can adjust this recipe to feed your family using 4-6 pieces of meat.  I personally use 4 to feed my family of 3 with a leftover for lunch the next day.  I use 2 lbs. of chicken in my recipe but you can adjust between 4-6 cuts of chicken.

    Slow Cooker Citrus Chicken is light and fresh entree that is perfect when you are eating healthy.

    I like to serve this delicious Crockpot Freezer Citrus Chicken Meal with roasted potatoes and butternut squash.  It is an easy Whole 30 Friendly and Gluten Free Recipe that the entire family can enjoy.

      I made this fresh and used the juice from 1 orange and 1 lemon, fresh ginger and reduced the oil. Excellent chicken.
