Slow Cooker Barbecue Bacon Chicken And Cheddar Pasta Food

ONE POT BBQ CHICKEN AND BACON PASTA

Steps:

• In a large pan, cook bacon and onion until onion is lightly browned and bacon is near crispy.
• Add the chicken (we don't drain the fat as it's going to prevent our chicken from sticking!), and cook until just browned on the outside, 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the garlic, salt and red pepper flakes and cook 1 minute.
• Add the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove any stuck on bits.
• Add the tomatoes, milk and barbecue sauce and stir until combined. Stir in the pasta and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook on a low simmer, stirring often, until pasta is al dente (you may wish to cover the pan near the end of the cook time if the pasta is no longer submerged in the liquid).
• Stir in cheese and serve.
