How To Make Slow Cooker Chicken with Bacon Gravy

2. Sprinkle seasonings and bacon over chicken.
3. Whisk together gravy mix and water and pour over chicken.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours.
5. Add heavy cream and cover and cook another 10 minutes. Serve.

How To Serve

Serve over white rice or mashed potatoes with a side of Southern-Style Green Beans or Buttery Peas and Mushrooms. Also goes great with Old-Fashioned Cabbage Casserole or Cracker Barrel Baby Limas.

Can I Use Chicken Thighs?

Yes! You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I recommend using 6. Cook them for 1 hour longer than chicken breasts.

Recipe Tips

• I don’t recommend cooking chicken breasts on HIGH in a slow cooker. They are too likely to get overcooked and chewy and dry in texture.
• Make it a little or a lot spicy. Add just a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Add half a teaspoon to make it spicy.

Storage

Will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
