Freezer Meal Friday: Cheesy Chicken Bundles

Since joining a freezer meal swap with friends, I've tried quite a few freezer recipes.  Some were flops while others were a success.  Some took hours and required ingredients that had never been in my cabinets (and probably never would be again).  The goal of Freezer Meal Friday is to offer simple freezer recipes with simple, everyday ingredients! Today's recipe comes from Don't Panic - Dinner's in the Freezer: Great-Tasting Meals You Can Make Ahead.

Ingredients:
*1 cup bread crumbs
*1/2 cup cheddar cheese
*1/2 cup parmesan cheese
*1 teaspoon salt
*1/4 teaspoon pepper
*6 chicken breasts, boneless
*1/2 cup butter

Prep/Freezing Instructions:
Mix bread crumbs, cheeses, salt and pepper.  Dip chicken into melted butter and then into the cheese mixture.  Place on plastic wrap, fold the sides of the chicken up to make a bundles and pull the plastic wrap up around it.  Place wrapped chicken bundles in a freezer bag.

Cooking Instructions:
Thaw, unwrap chicken and place in shallow baking dish.  Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and pour over the bundles.  Sprinkle with 1/2 cup parmesan cheese.  Bake uncovered at 350 for about an hour or until the chicken is crispy! 

Mmmmm......this is a tasty one and the kiddos love it!!  We made up some pasta with parmesan cheese as a side!  Interested in more freezer cooking recipes?  Check out other recipes in Freezer Meal Fridays!
