Start by preparing the crock pot on high for cooking poultry.

Add the chicken to the crock pot.

Include leftover frozen tomatoes, peppers, and a little bit of onions for flavor.

Close the lid and cook until the chicken is shreddable, approximately 4.5 hours.

Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks.

Let the shredded chicken cool before placing it in freezer bags.

Prepare the black beans by soaking them for future meals.

Add 2 cups of shredded chicken and 1 cup of black beans to each freezer bag.

Seal the bags by removing air by hand, without a vacuum sealer.

Label each bag with the contents and date.
