Good chicken slow cooker recipes?

I've seen some really good recipes but nothing that really jumps out at me. I was thinking maybe something that is made with bacon as well. Any suggestions?Good chicken slow cooker recipes?
Oh yum; this recipe is so delicious. Bacon is wrapped around chicken breasts and cooked in your crockpot in a heavenly creamy sauce. Serve it with couscous to soak up the sauce.





8 bacon slices


8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts


2 (10 oz) cans roasted garlic cream of mushroom soup


1 cup sour cream


1/2 cup flour





Wrap one slice of bacon around each boneless chicken breast and place in a 3-4 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. Serves 8Good chicken slow cooker recipes?

3-4 lbs boneless/skinless thighs and breasts


1 large onion, thinly sliced


2 large red or green bell peppers, sliced


3 cloves garlic, crushed


1/2 teaspoon each basil and oregano


1 (6oz) can tomato paste


fresh mushrooms, sliced


2 bay leaves


1 8 oz can stewed tomatoes with chiles


salt and pepper to taste


2 cups burgundy wine


Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling before serving





Place sliced onions on bottom of crock pot. Add chicken.


Stir together remaining ingredients and pour over chicken.





Cook on low 7-9 hours or high 3-4 hours. Serve over pasta, with a salad on the side.
This is the country version of the fussier coq au vin. Serve it with mashed potatoes.





1/2 pound sliced bacon, diced


1 4- to 6-pound chicken, cut up


1/2 cup dry white wine (or 1/4 cup dry vermouth plus 1/4 cup water)


1/2 pound small white mushrooms


1 cup frozen small white onions, thawed


6 garlic cloves, chopped


3 sprigs fresh rosemary (or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary leaves)


1 teaspoon kosher salt


1/4 cup water


2 tablespoons cornstarch





Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat until crisp. With a slotted spoon, transfer it to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Pour off all but a light coating of fat from the skillet. Add the chicken and brown over medium-high heat; transfer to the cooker. Pour the wine into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits; add the skillet contents to the cooker, along with the mushrooms, onions, garlic, rosemary, and salt. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours, or on high for 3 hours. Transfer the chicken, bacon, and vegetables to a platter; keep warm. Pour the sauce into a small saucepan. Combine the water and cornstarch; stir it into the sauce. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Pour over the chicken.
