Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Bacon

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon

Sauce and Flavorings

  • 4 ounces plant-based cream cheese
  • 1 cup plant-based heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (natural)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Smoked Turkey Bacon: Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. In a skillet, cook the smoked turkey bacon until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  2. Assemble the Crockpot Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. Scatter chopped garlic cloves and sun-dried tomatoes evenly over the chicken. Crumble half of the smoked turkey bacon on top to infuse smoky flavor.
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine plant-based cream cheese, plant-based heavy cream, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, chopped garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth and pour evenly over the chicken and other ingredients in the crockpot.
  4. Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and absorb the rich sauce while flavors meld.
  5. Finish and Garnish: Before serving, crumble the remaining smoked turkey bacon on top and sprinkle fresh basil leaves for color and herbal freshness.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for a brighter flavor.
  • Crisp smoked turkey bacon well to contrast with tender chicken.
  • Do not skip sun-dried tomatoes for their natural tang and depth.
  • Cook on low heat to blend flavors and keep chicken juicy.
  • Reserve fresh basil for garnish to maintain its vibrant taste.
