• Crockpot: Bacon-Swiss BBQ Chicken

  I was so blessed after the birth of our baby to have dear friends bring us food for several days following.  I had some things in the freezer to serve up as well.  I love having freezer meals on hand to give me a little extra time to love on the baby and my big kids. 

  Now that the freezer is empty, I'm back to cooking supper for my family.  The crockpot is tremendous right now.  Just tremendous.  (We might starve without it.) I've pulled out my crockpot recipe books and I'm going to have some fun trying lots of new recipes.  Bacon-Swiss BBQ Chicken was a huge hit with the Chief and kiddos. 

  

  6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  26 ounce bottle barbecue sauce

  6 slices bacon, halved and crisply cooked

  6 slices swiss cheese

  Place chicken in a slow cooker; cover with barbecue sauce.  Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours.  Arrange 2 strips halved bacon over each piece of chicken; top with cheese slices.  Cover and cook on high until cheese melts, about 15 minutes. 

  I used chicken tenders because they were on sale and cheaper than chicken breasts.  Still yummy and more manageable for the little people.  And to save a few minutes, I put the tenders in the oven to melt the cheese.
