How To: Crock Pot Bacon-Wrapped Apple BBQ Chicken

Life has finally calmed down enough for me to start trying new recipes again. This one is courtesy of The Six Sisters Stuff blog and the original posting can be found here. This was very easy to make and turned out delicious. It was also my first time experimenting with slow cooking frozen chicken rather than thawed chicken. I honestly couldn't tell the difference. My new kitchen toy did come in handy though! Love my citrus  juicer!!!! So much easier than twisting it. I got an aluminum version at Target. I hear there are plastic ones at Wal Mart. I LOVE this thing!!!

Here's what you'll need.

Materials

• Crock pot
• Peeler
• Small bowl/Pan
• Spoon
• 1/2 measuring cup

Ingredients

• 3-4 chicken breasts
• 1-2 pieces of bacon per chicken breast 
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (note--I used Jack Daniels BBQ sauce because I haven't made it to Whole Foods to see if I could find any Whole 30 compliant BBQ sauce so this is a slight cheat)
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 apples, peeled and grated (I used 2 small gala apples)

Directions

Peel and grate your apples into a bowl or pan. I used a pan because I have a hand held grater that I could rest against it. Juice your lemon and add to the same bowl. Pour the sauce and mix together with a spoon. The finished sauce will look like this.

Next, wrap your chicken breasts in bacon. I used 1-2 pieces of bacon per chicken breast, depending on the size. Place the wrapped chicken in the bottom of the crock pot as seen below. 

Pour the sauce you've created evenly over the wrapped chicken breasts. This is how it will look just before you turn the pot on. Cook on low for 8 hours.

This is what the finished product will look like.

I served whipped sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli with this and it was delicious. Now I also have lunch for the next few days. Yum.
