Notes

Recipe inspired by Life in the Lofthouse
  • Lightly oiling the crock pot will prevent food from sticking to the bottom, but you can skip this step if you prefer. 
  • Cut the potatoes and carrots into similar-sized pieces for even cooking. 
  • If your chicken breasts are large, you can cut them in half vertically or gently pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
  • Combine the soup and broth before pouring over the chicken.
  • Chicken must be completely covered by liquid. You may need to press it down with a spoon.
  • Use leftover bacon. I store leftover cooked bacon in the freezer which can then be added directly to crockpot without thawing. 
  • Prepare the ingredients in a freezer-safe container or Zip-top freezer bag and keep in the freezer to cook later.
  • Slow cooker temperatures can vary, so it's important to check your food for doneness. The internal temperature should read 165F / 74C when a meat thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of the chicken breast.
  • Storage – keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • There are 7 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
