At the first hint of fall, I break out both of my slow cookers and get to work on all the delicious low carb slow cooker recipes. In fact, I use my crockpot year round. It is great in the winter when you just want to curl up on the couch and don't feel like cooking and it is equally as great in the summer for transporting food to cookouts, low carb barbecues or any type of fun get together. BUT, it can be a lifesaver during the really hot months when you don't want to heat up the stove and make you house even hotter. One of my favorite type of low carb recipes to make in the slow cooker is definitely low carb soups and stews. This low carb chowder being among the top favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 small leek, cleaned, trimmed and sliced
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 6 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp butter, divided
  • 2 cups chicken stock, divided
  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 lb bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Heat slow cooker on low setting. To slow cooker, add garlic, shallot, leek, celery, mushrooms, onions, 2 tablespoon butter, 1 cup chicken stock, sea salt and black pepper. Cover, and cook vegetables on low for 1 hour. Complete this next step while the vegetables are cooking – In a large skillet over medium-high heat, pan-sear the chicken breasts in the remaining 2 tablespoon butter until they are browned on both sides. – About 5 minutes each side. (Chicken will not be fully cooked during this stage.)
  2. 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.
  3. Add heavy cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, and thyme to the slow cooker. Stir until well combined and there are no longer any visible chunks of cream cheese.
  4. Once the chicken has cooled, cut it into cubes and add it to the slow cooker, along with bacon. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Cover and let cook for 6-8 hours.

    I have made this recipe many times since I discovered it. I usually double it, omit the mushrooms, and use two crock pots to cook it. I freeze it in individual containers for meals when I don't feel like spending a lot of time cooking. I have made one other adjustment - I cook the bacon in the pan I plan to sear the chicken in and use the bacon fat instead of butter. After deglazing the pan, I add the cream cheese and then the cream to the pan to create the sauce and then pour it into the crock pots. This is a favorite for sure!
