Spicy Chicken and Replacement Reese's

Here's another freezer meal! We made it incredible easy by also buying some Birdseye brown rice which cooks up just right in the microwave, best quick rice ever we think, and it is just rice, no pesky allergens to worry about with that stuff.  So here it is! 
Spicy Chicken
       In a freezer bag place the desired number of chicken breasts, I used 3, a can of un drained black beans, a can of diced tomatoes, and a can of tomato sauce.  (yet again, Yay for Aldi) 
    Also add  a pinch to a quarter tsp (depending on the heat your going for, I go by smell of the mixture, odd I know) of Garlic powder, Paprika, Cumin, pepper, Onion powder, Oregano and Thyme. 
    Then throw it in the freezer until you need it. The night before take out to thaw and in the morning empty it into the crock pot and cook 8 hrs on low(I also tossed in some frozen peas during the last half hour of cooking). When it is done cook your steam bag of rice, shred the chicken in the pot, stir once and then serve over rice YUM! 

Replacement Reese's :) Yes, you did read that right! I don't know if you have missed those yummy candies as much as we do, they are my hubby's favorite, but ,this year I finally got a good recipe  that satisfies the cravings! I think one of the reasons they have worked out so well is because of Trader Joe's Sunbutter. We have tried several kinds over the years, but think that Trader Joe's is the best. It doesn't have any kind of soy in it! You will need. 
For sunbutter mix
1/2 cup sunbutter
4 1/2 tsp Earth Balance butter (in the red tub)
1/2c corn free confection sugar
1/2 tsp salt.
Mix all together until smooth and set aside 

For chocolate
1 cup Enjoy life chocolate chips or chunks
1/2cup sunbutter
Combine and microwave in thirty second intervals, stirring until smooth. 

Line a mini muffin tin with muffin liners. Place a 1/2tsp chocolate mix, followed by 1tsp sunbutter mix, and topped with 1tsp chocolate mix. Then refrigerate until set. Tada! You will love! 

Tomorrow we will have allergen free Sugar Cookies and Ginger Bread boys!
