Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Pasta Freezer Meal – crazy delicious!!! Everyone cleaned their plate and asked for seconds!!! Pasta, chicken, sun dried tomato seasoning, garlic seasoning, dried mustard, cheddar cheese soup, evaporated milk, milk, cheddar cheese, mozzarella, and bacon. Can cook frozen in the slow cooker. We make this at least once a month! #freezermeal #pasta #slowcooker #chicken

We’re back with day four of our freezer meal series. (View previous days here: Day One, Day Two Day Three) This is one of my favorites. I loved all the flavors in this pasta dish. I especially loved the Sun Dried Tomato seasoning. I used McCormick’s Tuscan Rosemary and Sun Dried Tomato seasoning. I found it in the spice section at Publix. For the chicken, I used half of a rotisserie chicken chopped up.

This dish requires very little cooking time. It only cooks on LOW for a couple of hours. If you want to cook this all day in the slow cooker, I would cook it on WARM and turn it up to LOW when you got home and added the pasta. I actually ended up cooking this in my Dutch oven. I let the freezer bag thaw in the fridge all day and just heated it up on the stove. It was ready in less than 30 minutes.
