Southern  California temperatures have been over 100 F these past few days and just the thought of turning on the stove makes me want to jump out of my skin! Thank goodness for this slow cooker mushroom chicken, dinner was done without the torture of kitchen heat.

If you’re looking for a meal that’s easy to prep yet big on flavor, this crockpot mushroom chicken is your answer! Chicken breasts are wrapped in bacon, nestled on a bed of chipped beef, and then slow cooked in cream of mushroom for hearty, delicious dish you’ll love with rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.

Not familiar with chipped beef? They are pressed, salted, and dried slivers of beef used in the classic American Military dish, Shit on a Shingle (S.O.S.) or what we laymen know as creamed chipped beef on toast.

You can find this dried beef sold in jars or plastic packets at most major supermarkets. Although you can definitely omit it from the recipe, the layer of dried beef does add a delicious smoky flavor you wouldn’t want to miss!
