question: you say that this makes 4 meals. Does this mean that this recipe makes 24 servings?
It looks delicious and I'm planning on using it for my meal swap group this month.
Thanks!
The recipe as written makes 24 servings.
I'm wondering if we could put the sauce and the chicken in the same bag when freezing it?
It takes awhile to get the chicken to cook thoroughly so... If it is with the sauce there is a good chance of scorching the sugar in the preserves. I would not advise mixing them.
