Creamy Bacon Chicken in a Slow Cooker Recipe
Makes 4–6 Servings
The recipe calls for four skinless, boneless chicken breasts.
– One teaspoon of grated garlic
– Dried thyme, 1 teaspoon
For seasoning, add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cut six bacon pieces.
– Mince 2 cloves of garlic – Finely chop 1 small onion
Two cups of chicken broth and one cup of heavy cream
“All-purpose” flour, measuring 1 tablespoon
Ingredients needed:
½ cup of sour cream,
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
How to Follow
1. Add garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper to the chicken breasts. Lay them down at the base of the slow cooker.
Second, crisp up some bacon in a pan set over medium heat. After bacon is removed, set it aside to drain on paper towels. When the bacon has cooled enough to handle, crumble it.
3. Saute the onion in the bacon fat for around three minutes, or until it becomes tender. Sauté the garlic for one more minute after adding it. Place the chicken in the slow cooker with the garlic and onion mixture.
4. Use the chicken stock to deglaze the skillet, making sure to scrape off any browned pieces from the bottom. Add this to the chicken and mix well.
5. Once the chicken is halfway done cooking, cover and simmer on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
6. Combine the flour and heavy cream, making sure to avoid lumps. Add the crumbled bacon and stir to combine in the slow cooker. To achieve a somewhat thick sauce, continue cooking on high for another 25-30 minutes.
7. Add the shredded cheddar and sour cream right before serving; mix until cheese melts and sauce becomes creamy.
8. Before serving heated, top with chopped parsley and garnish.
Tips and Variations—If you’re feeding someone who are really particular about what they eat, you may substitute onion powder for the onion in the dish.
Cornstarch slurry, made by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water, can be used in place of flour to make a thicker sauce.
– A Throw in some kale or spinach in the last few minutes of cooking for a little more greenery.
– A Use bacon pieces or precooked bacon to save time on days when you’re really busy.
– A For consistent cooking, check that your slow cooker is neither too full nor too empty.
– A And don’t forget that a dash of love is the secret ingredient!
