General Tso's Chicken...Crockpot style

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
4 tsp minced garlic
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground ginger
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or more if you like hot)
1 16-oz package stir fry veggies

FREEZER MEAL DIRECTIONS: Place chicken in resealable bag. Combine remaining ingredients (except veggies), mix well and pour over chicken. Freeze. I put quart bag of chicken, with the bag of veggies, into a gallon ziploc so they were both together and handy.

DIRECTIONS FOR BAG: Thaw. Place in crock pot. Cook on low 5-6 hrs. Then add frozen veggies. Recover and cook on high for 1 hr or until veggies are hot and chicken has reached desired tenderness. Serve over rice.

TO PREPARE WITHOUT FREEZING: Place chicken in crock pot. Combine remaining ingredients (except veggies), mix well and pour over chicken. Cook on low 5-6 hrs. Then add frozen veggies. Recover and cook on high for 1 hr or until veggies are hot and chicken has reached desired tenderness. Serve over rice.
