The chicken cooks first with the bacon, gravy, seasonings, and water. After the initial cook time, the shredded chicken goes back into the crockpot with heavy cream for one additional hour.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
This recipe is built around a crockpot method, so the ingredients begin cooking together in the same vessel. The final step of serving the chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes makes the potatoes part of the finished meal rather than a separate afterthought.
There are two cooking stages on low heat. The first stage cooks the chicken before shredding, and the second stage includes the heavy cream.
