Can we just establish that my idea of a good dinner is one that starts with pulling a meal out of the freezer, dumping it in the Instant Pot, and ending with juicy pineapple and spiced chicken crisped under the broiler, tucked into tortillas, and rolled up with creamy jalapeño ranch slaw?

These tacos are fresh, delicious, and just plain happy. Er, maybe it’s me that’s happy? And probably because throwing some pantry ingredients together, freezing it, pulling it out and pressing start on the Instant Pot, taking my crew for a walk, and coming home to dinner almost done is almost the same as winning a million dollars. Almost.

How to make Freezer Meal Hawaiian Chicken

It really can’t get any easier.

Add a bunch of yummy easy stuff to a freezer bag.
Stick it in the freezer.
Pull it out, dump it in the Instant Pot to cook, and WALK AWAY.

When it’s done, give it a little crisp under the broiler and tuck it into warm tortillas with creamy Jalapeño Ranch Slaw. This is what dreams are made of.
