Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Crumble the bacon and set it aside, covered, in the refrigerator.

In the bacon drippings in the skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until light brown, turning once.

Place the chicken in a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker. Top with the mushrooms or onions (or both!).

In the skillet you used to brown the chicken, heat the soup or Alfredo sauce, scraping up the pan drippings, and pour over the chicken in the slow cooker.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low setting for 4 to 5 hours, or until the chicken registers 165°F on a meat thermometer.

Top the chicken with the diced cheese and sprinkle with the reserved bacon. Cover again and cook on high for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Author recently started cooking this dish using frozen chicken breasts. Brown them, as directed, in the bacon drippings, then cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until a food thermometer registers 165 degrees F.
