Crock Pot Garlic Bacon Chicken
I had some HUGE chicken breasts, so I ended up using only 5 chicken breasts, because I cut the extra large breasts in half. So you will need to make the call based on the size of your chicken and your needs.
The recipe said that broiling the chicken was optional, so that is how I put it in the recipe card, but let me tell ya people…you want to broil the chicken and crisp up the bacon. YUM!
Crock Pot Garlic Bacon Chicken
Ingredients

Instructions
- Spray your crock pot with cooking spray
- Wrap a piece of bacon around a chicken breast and place in your crock pot, repeat with all of your chicken

- Optional: Place your chicken on a broiler pan and broil for 3-5 minutes, watching closely until bacon is crisp
Slow Cooker Recommendation
For this Crock Pot Garlic Bacon Chicken, I used my 9 x13 casserole slow cooker made by Crock Pot. It was great for making sure all of the chicken was laid out in one layer and evenly covered with the soup mixture. If you aren’t using a casserole crock, I would recommend a 5-6 quart crock pot since there is so much food in this recipe.

You say that we need 1/2 of flour? is it 1/2 cup?
I see they must have corrected it as the recipe does say 1/2c.
Yes, a half a cup. The recipe is fixed. Enjoy!
How much flour, 1/2 ?
A half a cup. The recipe is fixed. Enjoy!
Where do you find the soup? Never heard of it. Have heard of cream of mushroom. Live in Illinois
Bonnie,
I hadn’t heard of it either before this recipe. I found it at our Jay-C Store. It was a Campbell’s soup. Hope that helps! Enjoy!
This looks awesome! I am wondering if it is best to broil the chicken before putting in the crock pot or after it is done before serving?
You’ll want to put it in the broiler right before serving to crisp up the bacon. Yum! Enjoy!
Thank you! Looking forward to making this one!
Haven’t made this yet but plan to this weekend. Curious as to why the flour is necessary (trying to get healthy!). Really excited to learn about the rectangular crock, too!
I think the flour is to help thicken up the gravy. I just followed the recipe. If you try something else and like it, be sure to let us know! Enjoy!
Do you dilute the soup with water?
Thanks for recommending the casserole crock pot. I think it’s a terrific idea and mine is on its way. Are there any recipe adjustments I need to think about using the casserole vs deep crock? Is there a recipe book just for casserole crock pots? Thx
Hi Cindy!
We have quite a few recipes we have made in our casserole crocks (with more to come!). I’ll put a link to the page below. That way you will have plenty of ideas when your casserole crock arrives! Enjoy!

my husband doesn’t like sour cream – what can I substitute – he doesn’t like yogurt either, in case you were to mention that.
Where’s the garlic? There’s no garlic in this recipe so the “Garlic Bacon Chicken” title seems wrong.
Hi SMU!
The garlic is in the soup, but if you want to add garlic, that would be a great idea! One can never have too much garlic! Enjoy!
