Slow-Cooker Bacon-Wrapped BBQ Chicken
Ingredients:
Chicken breasts: 3–4 boneless, skinless breasts
Bacon: 6–8 strips (approx. 2 strips per breast)
Seasoning blend: 1–2 tbsp dry rub (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper)
BBQ sauce: ½ cup (for glazing)
Directions:
Season: Coat chicken breasts evenly on both sides with the seasoning rub.
Wrap: Wrap 2 strips of bacon tightly around each seasoned breast.
Slow Cook: Arrange the wrapped chicken side-by-side in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours (or HIGH for 2.5–3 hours) until tender and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Glaze: Transfer cooked chicken to a baking sheet and brush generously with BBQ sauce. (Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes to caramelize the glaze and crisp the bacon.)
