Here's what I've been smelling in my crockpot all day 😋

Now, I will acknowledge it doesn't LOOK pretty (lol), but it's delicious! (Every time I make it, I'm on keto and my husband always laments because he feels it would be SO yummy as a dip for some wheat thins, or a really good sandwich melt. Which, probably!)

Here's the macro information, as well as the ingredients and instructions. I hope you try it out, because I personally love it!

Ingredients:

2 pounds of chicken thighs

x1 package of sliced green onions

x1 2.8oz jar of bacon bits (or 8 slices of cooked bacon, cut up)

x2 8oz blocks of cream cheese

x1 2cup package shredded cheddar

x2 Tbsp of dried chives

x2 Tsp of garlic powder (alter to taste)

x 1 Tsp of onion powder (alter to taste)

Instructions:

Place chicken in crockpot. Add spices and bacon bits. Cover with cream cheese. (I personally leave the cream cheese out for an hour so it's a little softer, then cut it in to cubes, but it's not necessary.) Cover and cook on low for 6.5 hours. Mix in your shredded cheese, cook for 30 more minutes. Enjoy.

(If you choose to cook on high, the total cook time is 5 hours, but I've never done it.)
