The Slow Cooked Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Drizzled with Honey recipe comes to you today directly from my new e-book.

You saw the title, and your mouth began to water.

It’s early morning, but you couldn’t care less.

If you choose to quickly run home and get this in your slow cooker, I promise not to tell anyone.

First things, first: buy some chicken breasts and legs.

Skin Chicken

And trim those babies up. I mean, you don’t absolutely have to. I did.

De-Skinned Chicken

Let them sit there for a minute while you place the celery, carrots, ginger, thyme, sage and rosemary in a bowl. Then, roll the chicken in the mixture.

Topping

Remove chicken from mixture and place on a flat surface. Wrap the bacon around the chicken pieces however you’d like. I used one piece of bacon for each of the legs and 2 for each of the breasts.

Chicken Bacon 1st

Place the leftover mixture from bowl on the bottom of your slow cooker with ¼. C. water.

On bottom

Drizzle a little honey over each piece of chicken/bacon (No more than 1 tsp. per piece).

And that’s it. Place all chicken/bacon pieces in your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for approximately 6-8 hours (I did mine on low for 6 and then on “warm” for 1.5, as I had to go to the gym 🙂 )

Slow Cook

Once it’s all done, take a piece of chicken out and pour some of the juice and veggies from the bottom over it and enjoy!

Notes: you can use more veggies if you’d like. You also don’t have to wrap the chicken in bacon. Then again, you can wrap more bacon around if you wish!
