4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

10–12 slices bacon

½ tsp salt (optional, bacon is already salty)
-
¼ tsp black pepper (optional for loose carnivore)
-
2 tbsp butter
Optional (for extra richness):
-
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly grease the slow cooker with butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
2. Arrange the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer.

During the last 10–15 minutes, sprinkle cheddar cheese over the bacon for a melted, rich topping.
