Ingredients for Crock Pot Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites
- 12 oz pkg bacon divided
- 2 chicken breasts
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
How to Make Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites in a Crock Pot
- Cut your bacon slices in half, set aside
- Cut your chicken breasts into bite size pieces (I cut my chicken into 24 pieces because my pkg of bacon had 12 slices, which I cut in half, giving me 24 pieces of bacon to use)
- Wrap one half piece of bacon around a piece of chicken and place in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker (I used Cera, my 6 Quart Crock Pot with Ceramic Coated Pot). Repeat with all of your chicken and bacon pieces.
- Sprinkle your brown sugar evenly across the top of your bacon wrapped chicken bites.
- Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours (use a meat thermometer to ensure that your chicken is cooked to the proper temperature without overcooking it)
- Place your bacon wrapped chicken on a foil lined baking pan, drizzle juices from crock pot over top of all of them and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, watching continually, to crisp up the bacon a bit
Crock Pot Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites Notes:
- You will want to line your baking sheet with foil for easy clean up when you are crisping up your bacon. Also, when you are using your broiler, I always recommend the “Pull up a chair and stare” method. If you take your eyes off of something in your broiler, it is very easy to go from oh yum to oh no. So just watch it closely.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and shouldalways be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

Pat M says I have not made these…yet, but I am definitely going to!! Our church has a potluck first Sunday of every month, so I will be at least doubling the recipe. For a dipping sauce, I think I will thicken the sauce left over in the crockpot after broiling the chicken, maybe adding a bit of pepper flakes to it for some heat. I cannot wait to try these!!!

can you double the recipe?
Reply
- Aunt Lou says
I haven’t tried doubling this recipe. If I did try doubling, I would do it in layers. So, I would put one batch of bacon wrapped chicken pieces in the bottom of the crock pot and top with the brown sugar, and then I would repeat with the second batch. That way the brown sugar can get to all of the chicken bites. I would guess that the timing would change. So, you will want to watch it closely and allow for more time, if it is needed. Be sure to use a meat thermometer to know exactly when they reach at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes.

hi
I would like to make for my potluck at work tomorrow
I do not a broiler
can you suggest anything ?
to make the bacon crispReply
- Aunt Lou says
Hi Rena!Do you have an oven you could use to crisp up the bacon? I haven’t tried just using a high heat in an oven to crisp up the bacon, but think it could work, it would just take a little longer. Hope this helps!

Is there anything savory that you could use in place of brown sugar? Like maybe Teriyaki, Soy Sauce or Dale’s. I would like to try the recipe with something that’s not sweet like brown sugar or BBQ sauce if that would work?!?🤷🏻♀️

I haven’t tried this recipe with any of the suggestions you listed. I think it would be delicious with Teriyaki. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!

Assigned the main dish for my sons wrestling meet for the second week in a row I was looking for something different. Every week it’s sloppy joes or tacos, because inevitably we’re there all day and it has to be in a crockpot. This was an absolute hit. Both coaches placed a standing order for it every week. The only thing I did different was I ran out of bacon with a little leftover chicken so I threw it on the top, but did not broil those pieces. After broiling I threw it all back in the crockpot and added a few squirts of bbq sauce in layers. It was the first crockpot empty that day.Reply

I’m so glad to hear it turned out so well for you Tami! Thank you for taking the time to let me know!Aunt Lou

How do you keep the bacon from unwrapping? Do you use toothpicks? Do you use thick bacon?
Reply
- Aunt Lou says
Hi Larry!I used regular bacon. When I placed the bacon wrapped chicken in the crock pot, I made sure the end of the bacon was down so the chicken would hold it in place while it cooked. Enjoy!

I’m curious if you recommend a certain type of bacon for these?

Hi Lynda-
We just use whatever bacon that is on sale. Enjoy!

This was so easy to put together and it turned out excellent! We had it for a main dish and was a hit, My son is 11 and is a bit picky with foods, but he loved this! I will be making this over and over again!!Reply

I make a very similar recipe in the oven. The only difference is the addition of chili powder to the brown sugar. YUMMY!

Hi Pamela!The first time I had these, someone brought them to a church potluck. I didn’t get his recipe, but based this recipe off of what he brought. They were so yummy! We’ll have to give them a try with a little chili powder! Enjoy!
