CROCK POT CREAMY CHICKEN BACON CARBONARA

I cooked this for dinner tonight and it was a HUGE hit with my husband; in fact, he told me this was his favourite meal to date. What's not to like? Bacon... cheese...pasta... yum.

Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Bacon Carbonara

Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 can fat free, low sodium chicken broth
• 3 tbsp low fat ranch dressing (sounds weird, but just do it!    PS. I don't even like Ranch)
• 1/2 cup reduced fat, softened cream cheese
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/8 to 1/4 cup bacon bits or cooked bacon, sliced 
• 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:

• Place chicken in bottom of crock pot
• Pour chicken broth over chicken
• Top chicken with garlic, ranch dressing, cream cheese, and half of the bacon bits
• Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours
• About 30 minutes prior to serving, top with shredded cheese and remaining bacon bits
• Serve over hot noodles

note: this just barely made enough for two people and I found there wasn't a lot of sauce remaining to soak your pasta in, I would almost suggest adding a bit of water or increasing the amount of cream cheese slightly. Will attempt next time and update recipe.
