Week 15, Recipe 16: Bacon-Wrapped Apple BBQ Chicken

Woke up to no planned dinner food in the house after holiday date night with the husband. It's cold outside I had zero motivation to go out there. Want the husband to have a nice warm dinner when he gets home from work in retail-during-the-holidays hell. Started bouncing around The Crockin' Girls website and found a receipe I could make with ingredients already in the house! SO EXCITED!

Bacon-Wrapped Apple BBQ Chicken

3-4 chicken breasts
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1-2 apples, peeled and grated
1 lemon, juiced
6-8 slices bacon

Directions:
1. In small bowl, combine BBQ sauce with grated apple and lemon juice.
2. Place chicken breasts in base of crock pot, pour BBQ/apple mixture over the chicken. Wrap 2 pieces of bacon around each chicken breast. Set to low and cook for 8 hours.

This one was good. I think it overcooked. My slow cooker doesn't need more than 7 hours, even putting the chicken in frozen. Served it with bacon and cheddar mashed potatoes, which I did make from scratch but is not a new recipe. Glad I was able to get dinner started this morning as snow started to fall shortly after.
