03 - Spread the cheese mixture evenly over each chicken breast, ensuring complete coverage.
04 - Cover and cook on LOW setting for 5 hours, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is tender throughout.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The cheese mixture creates an incredibly velvety sauce that tastes like it simmered all day
  • Bacon adds the perfect smoky crunch that balances the rich creaminess
02 -
  • Let the cream cheese soften completely or you will end up with lumps that never quite disappear
  • Resist lifting the lid during cooking because every peek adds valuable cooking time
03 -
  • Cook the bacon until very crisp so it maintains its texture even after hours in the slow cooker
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan instead of the shelf stable kind for the best melting results
