Slow Cooker Bacon and Chicken

Well now that we have church that ends at 4:00p all year I really have to up my dinner game to get it done and on the table by 5:15p.  That means more crock pot meals.  I have about two meals in my crock pot repertoire so I find myself scrambling for new recipes regularly.  Last week I found this recipe for slow cooker bacon and chicken. I had some leftover bacon in the freezer from our St. Patrick's day meal and decided to use that.  So I used 5 chicken breasts and 6 slices of bacon.  I put in 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 cup water and didn't need the 3 tbsp olive oil at the end of cooking.  I also added 1/2 tsp pepper and ditched the salt.

One of the best things about this recipe is that I put the raw chicken and raw bacon in entirely frozen!  It cooked up great in about 7 hours (1 hour on high and 6 on low).  It was actually quite delicious and different from our normal meals.  My husband liked it with bbq sauce so it might be a good sub for pulled pork sandwiches.  Try it!

ps.  A few weeks ago I tried this recipe for enchilada chicken stew and it was pretty good. I followed the recipe mostly except I only put in about 1/4 of the jalapeno can and used olive oil instead of coconut oil.  It was still pretty spicy.  I didn't take a good picture of it so it doesn't get it's own blog post.
