Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken breasts or thighs, no skin or bone

  • 8 ounces thick bacon, cut into pieces

  • Two small cans of cream of chicken soup (about 10.5 ounces each)

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Creamy Bacon Chicken: Directions

  1. Cook bacon in a pan over medium heat until brown and crunchy, about 8-10 minutes. Scoop it out with a spoon to a plate with paper towels. Leave the bacon fat in the pan. Put bacon in the fridge if your kitchen is hot.

  2. Add flavor to chicken (this step is extra but good): Pour 2-3 spoons of hot bacon fat into the slow cooker. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on chicken if you want (soup and bacon add salt already). Put chicken in one layer. Or, quickly brown chicken in the pan with leftover fat, 2-3 minutes each side, then move to cooker.

  3. Mix sauce: In a bowl, stir soup and cream until smooth. Pour over chicken so it covers everything. Don’t add water—the sauce stays thick.

  4. Cook slow: Put on the lid. Cook on low 4-6 hours or high 2.5-3.5 hours. Chicken should shred easy with forks. Don’t peek too much to keep heat steady.

  5. Shred chicken: Use two forks to pull chicken apart in the cooker. Mix into sauce until hot and bubbly.

  6. Add bacon: Right before eating, sprinkle bacon on top. Stir some in, save lots on top for crunch. Taste and add pepper if needed.

  7. Serve hot over potatoes, noodles, or rice. Spoon extra sauce on top with bacon bits. Keep cooker on warm up to 2 hours, stir now and then.
