Freezer Cooking - Chicken Recipes Day 1

After a week of "what do you want for dinner tonight" and no easy answer, I decided it was time to get the freezer stocked back up. I decided to keep it simple and did only chicken recipes this weekend. I shopped on Saturday, that way I would have all of Sunday to prepare the meals. Before I could do all of this I first gathered the recipes I wanted to try, made my shopping list and created the labels to put on the bags.
