Ingredients List
- large Chicken Breasts
- 1 pkg Bacon
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
- 1 8oz pkg of Cream Cheese
- 2 Cups Heavy Cream
- 2 Tbs Butter or Margarine
- 2 cups frozen Seasoning Blend or 1/2 large onion, 1/2 bell pepper and 1 stalk of celery chopped.
- 2 4 oz cans of steams and pieces Mushrooms or 8 oz of fresh sliced Mushrooms
- 2 Tsp minced Garlic
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Black Pepper
- 1 Tsp Basil
- 1 Tsp Thyme
- 2 Tsp Garlic Powder
Directions
1. Turn Crockpot on low and put vegetables and 1 1/2 cups of Chicken Broth in the Crockpot with Butter and a pinch of Salt, cover.
2. Cut Bacon into small pieces and cook until very crisp. Remove from pan and put aside. Leave 2 Tbs of Bacon grease in the bacon and place Chicken Breasts in the pan to sear on both sides.
3. Remove Chicken and cut into small cubes. Use remaining 1/2 cup of Chicken Broth to de-glaze the pan, pour this into the crockpot.
4. Add Bacon, Chicken, Heavy Cream, Cream Cheese and Seasonings, stirring until well blended. (Hint: I usually will sit the Cream Cheese on the stove while I am cooking, so the heat will soften it quicker and make it easier to mix in.)
5. Cook on low setting for 6 Hours. You will need to stir well before serving, as it will separate while cooking.
6. Garnish as you seem fit. I used fried onions and cheese. The fried onions that come in the can are surprising low in carbs and make a great garnish for soups, chili and salads.
