Do you have a small dutch oven or crockpot you can use for meals? Not sure how many you are feeding, but I have a recipe I freeze, and then cook later in a dutch oven or crock pot (I prefer it in the dutch oven).

" Crockpot TangyBBQ Chicken- 1 bag of baby carrots (or 1 lb carrots, cut into chunks)
- 1 chopped red onion
- 20 oz. can undrained pineapple
- 2 chopped garlic cloves
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
Put everything in a zipper bag. When ready to make, cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours in slow cooker.
Before serving, shred chicken and serve on buns."

You can mix it all up and separate into several bags (one or two chicken breasts in each) for smaller meals. I usually cook it in the dutch oven, 325 to 350 for an hour or so. Or you can go lower heat (200 to 250 for a couple hours). It thickens up better in the dutch oven.

I serve it over rice.

For the teriyaki sauce, I've used regular, mango teriyaki, etc, and it's all come out good.
