Kitchen gadgets needed: Slow cooker, can opener, cutting board, knife, bowls, forks
Ingredients
  • 5 slices of bacon
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 can reduced-sodium cream of chicken soup (10.75 ounces)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 package Cavatappi pasta
  • 1 bundle chives, chopped
Instructions
  1. Chop the bacon and cook in a frying pan until it's no longer translucent but not totally crispy. Set on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off excess grease.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, water and pepper. Add in bacon, stirring to combine everything, then add in the chicken breasts, so they're coated in the mixture. Pour everything into the slow cooker, and place on low heat for 6-8 hours.
  3. Once it's ready, use two forks to shred the chicken. Serve the chicken and sauce atop the pasta, and garnish with chives.
