You all know about my obsession with my crock pot . . . and I am always on the lookout for more yummy crock pot recipes. I saw this one over at Money Saving Mama and made it the next day . . . we loved it! It has a great flavor . . . I love the apples in it. It was super easy and delicious. She also threw in a couple idea for side dishes (although as you can see in the picture, we had other sides with our chicken) and I included them because it's always nice to have new ideas for side dishes!
- 3-4 boneless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1-2 apples, peeled and grated
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 6-8 slices bacon
- 2-3 sweet potatoes
- 1 cup chopped frozen broccoli
1. In small bowl, combine BBQ sauce with grated apple and lemon juice.
2. Wrap 2 pieces of bacon around each chicken breast. Place chicken breasts in base of crock pot, pour BBQ/apple mixture over the chicken. Set to low and cook for 8 hours.
3. Slit sweet potatoes with knife or vent with fork. Bake sweet potatoes at 350 degrees for 1 hour in baking dish with 1/4 inch water. Cover with foil. Remove and let cool about 10 minutes. Peel skins off of the potato and mash. Serve with cinnamon and butter if you like.
4. Cook frozen broccoli as directed on package.
5. Serve yummy chicken breast with side of broccoli and sweet potatoes.

ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteSounds so good. Onto my pinboard. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCan you please clarify the order of the following?
ReplyDelete"pour BBQ/apple mixture over the chicken. Wrap 2 pieces of bacon around each chicken breast."
Are you supposed to wrap the bacon around the chicken coated in the apple/BBQ mix, or are you supposed to wrap the chicken breasts first and then pour the sauce over the bacon/chicken combination?
Thanks!
Moonica- sorry about that! I just had the order wrong- wrap the chicken breasts first, then put them in the crock pot and pour BBQ mix on top!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know!
Do you put the chicken breasts in frozen?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous! I have done it both ways- frozen and thawed and they turned out the same . . . I know that some people don't like to use frozen chicken in the slow cooker, so do what you feel comfortable with. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you use boneless chicken breast or split on the bone?
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous- I use boneless chicken breasts! I will add that to the description right now. Thanks for pointing it out to me!
ReplyDeletewould it be ok to cook on low in a pot on the stove rather than a slow cooker?
ReplyDeleteWhat if I put the slow cooker on high? About 4-5 hours?
ReplyDeleteSilly question- do you cook the bacon at all before wrapping the chicken with it?
ReplyDeleteI made this recipe over the weekend. Love it!
ReplyDeleteCan you make this recipe using the oven instead?
