#4 Sour Cream and Bacon Crockpot Chicken
Time: 8 hour Serves: 6
Ingredients:
8 bacon slices
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 (10 oz) cans roasted garlic cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup flour (all purpose or gluten free blend)
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat until some of the fat is rendered. Be sure that the bacon is still pliable and not crisp. Drain on paper towels. If you use this method, reduce the flour to 1/4 cup. Or don’t cook the bacon and proceed with the recipe.
Then wrap one slice of bacon around each boneless chicken breast and place in a 4-5 quart crockpot.
In medium bowl, combine condensed soups, sour cream, and flour and mix with wire whisk to blend. Pour over chicken.
Cover crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours until chicken and bacon are thoroughly cooked. You may want to remove the chicken and beat the sauce with a wire whisk so it is very well blended.
Pour sauce over chicken.
If you have a newer crockpot, check the chicken at 5 hours. The internal temp should be 160 -170 degrees F.
Notes
Serve over rice, couscous, or wide egg noodles.

#6 Buffalo Ranch Chicken *One of my favs as well and it's a repeat from last swap.*
In the bag is 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breast in the buffalo ranch marinade (1 pkg ranch mix and 1 bottle wing sauce whisked together).
When you are ready to cook, thaw it completely. Place chicken and sauce in slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hrs or on high 3-4. Once done, use 2 forks the shred it in the crock pot and stir until coated with sauce. I put mine in my KitchenAid mixer last time and shred it, then poured sauce in with it.... yummy.
I've used it lots of different ways, so here are some serving suggestions:
Hot chicken:
Over a baked potato
In a slider or on a bun with ranch dressing and spinach leaves as toppers
In a quesadilla or soft taco with provolone cheese.
Cold chicken:
On a salad
Sometimes I mix it with some fat free ranch dip and add some chopped cucumber then just eat it on crackers. An alternate serving idea is to make cucumber boats and fill them with the chicken and drizzle with ranch.
