This meal is highly customizable. Chicken can be easily swapped with tofu, and rice can be replaced with your grain of choice. If the jambalaya isn't on par with your cravings, any of these simple and delicious slow cooker meals are great options. Just prep your ingredients and freeze in a ziplock bag until you are ready to throw them into the slow cooker, then portion as soon as the meal is ready. Mason jars and special meal-prep containers are a great way to ensure that your meal is commuter-friendly!
