Instructions
SLOW COOKER HUNTERS CHICKEN
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and wrap them in streaky bacon (or back bacon for a slimming version). You can secure the bacon with toothpicks if you like – I don’t usually bother!
- Add all the barbecue sauce ingredients to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
- Place the chicken in the slow cooker and then flip over so it is coated in the sauce.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 – 3 Hours.
- Transfer the chicken and sauce into an ovenproof dish. Add the cheddar and mozzarella cheese and preheat your oven grill (broiler) to high.
- Place under the grill a few minutes until the cheese has melted. Add some chopped fresh parsley and serve with your favourite sides.
OVEN-BAKED HUNTERS CHICKEN
- Combine the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, or until slightly reduced. Transfer the sauce to an ovenproof dish.
- Preheat the oven to 180C//350F. Season and wrap the chicken in the bacon then place in the prepared dish, flipping over so chicken is covered in the sauce.
- Cook for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked (it should read 75C /165ºF when checked with a digital thermometer)..
- Sprinkle with the cheese then place under a hot grill (broiler) for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Add some chopped fresh parsley and serve with your favourite sides.
Notes
- SERVING SUGGESTIONS
- This delicious chicken dish is packed with so much flavour! Serve it with a green salad and steamed veggies if you are watching your diet or with mashed potatoes, baked potatoes or even rice.
- This recipe is Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly provided you use lean back bacon with the fat removed and a suitable sweetener instead of sugar. I recommend Sukrin Gold or Bocha Sweet – both can be used the same way as sugar, are suitable for low carb/keto diets and have no aftertaste.
