    I love, love…love, love, LOVE Chicken & Bacon Chowder. So, over the weekend, I found a ‘Peace, Love & Low Carb’ recipe, made a few calorie-friendly alterations, and made some. The end.

    How’s that for a beautiful story?

    Good!!! And I’ll tell you another one. Once upon a time, there was a person. And that person just so happened to be you. And you made this chowder. And you were happy. The end. *Burp*

    Here’s how you make it:

    Crock Pot Chicken & Bacon Chowder

    29lxy7t.jpg

    Ingredients:
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    1 shallot, finely chopped
    1 leek, sliced
    2 celery ribs, diced
    6 oz. sliced mushrooms
    1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
    4 tbsp. light butter, divided
    2 cups chicken stock, divided
    1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    8 oz. light cream cheese
    1 cup half and half
    ½ lb. bacon, cooked crisp & crumbled
    1 tsp. salt
    1 tsp. pepper
    1 tsp. garlic powder
    1 tsp. thyme

    Directions:
    Heat slow cooker on low setting. To slow cooker, add garlic, shallot, leek, celery, mushrooms, onions, 2 tbsp. light butter, 1 cup chicken stock, salt and pepper. Cover, and cook vegetables on low for 1 hour. While the vegetables are cooking - in a large skillet, over medium-high heat, pan-sear the chicken breasts in the remaining 2 tbsp. light butter just until they are browned on both sides (chicken will not be fully cooked during this stage). Remove chicken from pan and set aside. De-glaze the pan with the remaining 1 cup of chicken stock. Using a rubber spatula, scrape up any bits of chicken that may be stuck to the pan. Add chicken stock to slow cooker. Add half and half, light cream cheese, garlic powder and thyme to slow cooker. Stir until well combined (no visible chunks of cream cheese). Once chicken has cooled, cut into cubes and add to slow cooker, along with prepared bacon. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Cover and let cook for 6-8 hours.

    1 Serving: 1 cup
    Calories: 180
    Carbs: 4 g

    Protein: 14 g

    Sounds Yummy but with only 2 cups chicken stock and 1 cup half and half, I don't see any way this makes 16 cups (1 gallon). I don't see more than about 8-10 1 cup servings.

    If I were to make this, I would count out all of my servings and then calculate the calories. Total Calories for recipe 2880.

    Just be careful
