Chicken, Mushrooms and Bacon in the crockpot

Deliciously simple chicken, mushroom and bacon in the crockpot -- A Pinch of Joy

Chicken with mushrooms and bacon makes a tender, juicy and surprisingly flavorful chicken dinner.   The chicken breasts are dredged in flour and browned in a skillet to keep them juicy on the inside. The  mushrooms, and bacon are quickly sauted and added to the chicken in the crockpot where they simmer for only four hours.  Put them in the crockpot at lunchtime and come home to a wonderfully aromatic dinner.  Serve with brown rice, pasta or potatoes with vegetables on the side.  Have fruit or ice cream for dessert.  (Even better ice cream with fruit.)

Use chicken breasts that have been flattened or sliced to about an inch thick.  They will cook more evenly than the chunky chicken breast.  This slow cooker chicken recipe is a simple meal and takes less than 15 minutes and one skillet to prepare.  Heat the oil in a skillet and  brown the chicken breasts after dredging them in flour.  When browned on both sides, place them in the  crockpot.  Then brown the bacon pieces and add them to the crockpot. If I am in a hurry, I push them to one side to crisp once they start to brown.  Go ahead and saute the mushrooms lightly in the same pan before adding the chicken broth and bringing it to just the beginning of a boil.  Pour the broth, mushrooms and bacon over the chicken breasts in the crockpot.  Add the chicken broth, cover and set the crockpot to low and cook for four hours.  The short cooking time keeps the chicken breasts tender.

    This sounds amazing!! I’m always looking for new ways to dress up chicken instead of the same boring ways I usually fix it.
