These chicken tenders are an adaptation of a grill recipe I have made for years. I love throwing them in the crock pot and letting it do all the work for me. You won’t believe how simple and flavorful this recipe is!

How to Make Italian Bacon Chicken Tenders in a Slow Cooker

Take you chicken tenders and cover with Italian dressing and wrap each tender in bacon and place in the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker. We like to use a browning slow cooker so that we can do the final browning step all in the same pot. However, you can use a traditional slow cooker if you would like and then just finish up in a skillet. Pour remaining dressing over top and cook on high for 60-90 minutes. When tenders are fork tender, drain off juices and brown bacon on all sides on saute feature or in a skillet. Top with cheese and cook until melted. Serve with marinara sauce. (This is our favorite low carb sauce.)

Notes on Crock Pot Italian Bacon Chicken Tenders

• We like to use a browning slow cooker so that we can do the final browning step all in the same pot. However, you can use a traditional slow cooker if you would like and then just finish up in a skillet.
• We use Havarti cheese slices because they are really creamy but you can use mozzarella, cheddar or pepper jack.
• We like to dip these in marinara sauce. If you are eating low carb, this is our favorite low carb sauce.
• As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
