Bacon Ranch Slow Cooked Chicken

Did someone say bacon?

My husband has this "joke" he tells anytime we are eating bacon and someone new is around.

Husband:  Do you know what is better than a pound of bacon?

Answer:  TWO pounds of bacon.

He made that one up, true story.  He is BRILLIANT and loves bacon.  So do I!

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons bacon bits
• 1 teaspoon instant minced garlic 
• 1 (1 ounce) package hidden valley ranch dressing mix 
• 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup 
• 1 cup sour cream 
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 
• egg noodles, prepared 

Directions:

1. Combine the first 5 ingredients.
2. Pour over chicken in slow cooker. 
3. Cook 3-4 hours on high, or until chicken is done 
4. Serve over hot noodles. 

This recipe is about as simple as it gets.  Little mess, EASY prep, and ready when it's dinnertime.  As a bonus, it is so DELICIOUS!  My kids loved this one, both on the original night it was served AND as a leftover.  The sauce is very creamy and perfect over the noodles.  I did substitute the 98% fat free cream of chicken and a light sour cream but you could not tell a difference in the taste.

Bon Appetit!
