Slow Cooker Maple Bacon Chicken Recipe
This delicious Slow Cooker Maple Bacon Chicken Recipe is also a crockpot freezer meal! I made this in an afternoon when making 15 crockpot freezer meals to freeze and later cook in my crockpot. With the start of the school year activities in full swing I needed a bunch of prep ahead meals that I could make. This is the perfect recipe for back-to-school. It is a huge money and time saver in the kitchen.
So I got busy creating recipes so I could take an afternoon and have meals ready to go for my family. This chicken crockpot recipe has been my son’s favorite so far out of the slow cooker meals and will be added to my regular menu meals. I served the delicious Slow Cooker Maple Bacon Chicken Freezer Meal with baked sweet potatoes and sweet peas. I also used a 6 QT slow cooker for the recipe because I did not want the chicken to touch one another.
Slow Cooker Maple Bacon Chicken Recipe is so good and it’s an easy freeze slow cooker supper that everyone will love. My boys loved this chicken so much that they had seconds and there was no leftovers at all. The chicken is so tender and will just melt in your mouth. We will be definitely adding this to our list of favorite crockpot recipes!

Recipe calls for chicken but at the end of your statement you said the pork loin was so tender. Is this a chicken or pork recipe. I guess you could probably use either…just wondering.
It is chicken. Thanks for catching that error. It is updated now.
Ok thanks like I said I’m sure you could use either but wasn’t sure. Thanks
I’m allergic to peppers so I can’t use spicy mustard. Is there something you would suggest instead?
Can you use yellow mustard?
I leave for work in the morning and do not return for 10 hours. Would I be able to take this straight from the freezer to crockpot to compensate for the time difference?
I think so. Also if your crockpot turns over to warm after it is finished that will give you some extra time too!
Any idea how I would make this in the oven instead of the crock pot?
I would guess 45 minutes on 375.
