    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 so many times that I have it memorized. I make it regularly and when we are entertaining someone who doesn’t like a certain ingredient- I can just leave it out and it is still delicious! The pictures are awesome to have as a reference!

      This is one of my favorite recipes and my whole family loves it! I make it during the winter in my crock pot. However, I am in love with the time saving aspect of my new instant pot! Any chance this can be done in an instant pot? I was going to experiment with it but thought I would check here, first, to see if you or anyone has tried it yet? Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you!

      This was so delicious. I screwed up and left it on for 10 hours! It turned brown and I added more broth and cream to try and salvage it. It was ok after that, but it was better after cooking it on low for 3 hours. It was the best keto recipe I have tried. I wish I would not have left it on so long.

      This looks delicious! Can it be made in an instant pot? If so, what would the cooking directions be?

        Yes, I'm sure it can, but I couldn't tell you the conversion because I have never cooked with an InstantPot
