Course Main Dish
Cuisine American
- 4-6 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 250 grams Cream cheese, this is 1 standard block
- 1 packet Italian dressing mix, OR make from a shortcut
- 125 grams bacon, cooked and crumbled
Lightly grease your slow cooker crock with butter. Place the chicken in the crock, top with the block of cheese on the chicken, then sprinkle in the Italian seasoning mix.
Set the slow cooker to Low setting for 6 hours, giving a gentle stir at the 3 hour mark. At 6 hours the chicken should be fall apart tender, and shreds easily. Shred the chicken with two forks and stir to combine the cheese then stir in the bacon.
Serve as is, on rolls, over pasta, and a bed of salad greens, etc.
Figure about 70 Baht for the chicken, 120 Baht for the Cream cheese, and 90 Baht for the bacon. For 4 servings, this is about $2.06 per serving.
Variant: 1. When serving on a sandwich roll, toast the roll, add the chicken mixture and top with a little Cheddar cheese.
