How to Make Crock Pot Bacon Mushroom Swiss Chicken
Psst… Cris here… WE LOVE this recipe too. So much so that Mikey made a cooking show video for it AND a quick cooking video!
Michael loves mushrooms. I do not (unless you are talking about morels!).
It would have been SO easy to just make this a bacon Swiss chicken, but I know how much Michael loves these flavors combined, so I had to try this Crock Pot Bacon Mushroom Swiss Chicken from Gooseberry Patch’s Everyday Slow Cooker.
If you have a picky eater in your house, let them know that this picky eater still enjoyed this recipe thoroughly. (I may or may not have picked out the mushroom chunks in mine…I’m not tellin’! ???? ) The melty Swiss combined with the yummy bacon…and okay, the flavor of the mushrooms…were awesome with the chicken!
Ingredients Needed
3 slices of bacon crisply cooked, crumbled and drippings reserved
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 oz can sliced mushrooms drained
10.75 oz can cream of chicken soup
6 slices of swiss cheese
Notes onCrock Pot Bacon Mushroom Swiss Chicken Recipe
- This recipe is from Gooseberry Patch’s Everyday Slow Cooker
- I used Cera ( my6 Quart Crock Pot with Ceramic Coated Pot) for this one. I like to use a non-stick pot when I’m working with cheese to make clean up a snap. Your favorite 5-6 quart crock pot will work just fine. 🙂
- We love cooking with meat thermometers to ensure the that our chicken is done but not overdone.

I added some garlic powder and black pepper to the soup, my husband is not a fan of things that are super cheesy so I only used half the amount of cheese. Super tasty!Reply
- Foodie Gina says
I am before the trying it out for the 1st time stage. Like most cooks, we have to change almost all recipes to what we are feeling. I’m feeling this: take chicken out put cheese on top and broil until crispy and brown (to your liking as how long). The sauce, add baby spinach with the mushrooms (I can’t do can so mine will be fresh). Hey it’s a 105*+ at dinner time so one less pot to clean, to cook. Tomorrows will shall see/taste the final result…Reply
- Carolyn Pollock says
What do you serve this with? Do you serve it on a bun? It sounds delicious!

We usually serve this with green beans, corn or mashed potatoes. I haven’t tried this on a bun, but think that would be yummy! If you give it a try, let me know what you think!

This is wonderful!!! I sprinkled the chicken, after browning, with ranch dressing mix, used fresh sliced mushrooms and added a bit of onion – totally delish!!!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it Vickie!

Would using thighs help when having to leave it for about 6 hours?
Reply
- Cris says
Absolutely! Cook it on low and the thighs should hold up better than chicken breasts. Enjoy!
- Mary, female says
I would prefer the recipe to be written just for crockpot instead of doing th skillet version. I like to just put things in crockpot and forget it instead all the extra steps. Thanks
Reply
- Aunt Lou says
Hi Mary!The browning at the beginning helps to seal in the juices to give you tender, juicy chicken. I haven’t tried this recipe with skipping that step, but think that you could. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes! Enjoy!

Baby Swiss cheese is not aged for very long, and so it is milder which some people prefer also its less hole-y and milder than triditional Swiss Cheese which has a buttery slightly nutty flavor 😉

Don’t like canned mushrooms. Any idea what would be the best way to add fresh mushrooms?
Reply
- Aunt Lou says
Hi Robyn!I haven’t tried this with fresh mushrooms. If I did, I would slice them and add them at the same time as you would add the canned mushrooms. Let me know how it goes! Enjoy!

Could I use Mozzarella cheese in this instead of Swess??

Absolutely! Enjoy!

How would this be timed if using the crock pot casserole pot it seems to cook faster than the regular crockpot CROCKPOT MUSHROOM,BACON,CHEESE CHICKEN
Reply
- Aunt Lou says
Hi Jane!I have not tried this out in my casserole crock pot yet, so I can’t say for sure how the timing would chance. You will want to try it out the first time when you can keep an eye on it to know how your casserole crock cooks it and how the timing needs adjusted. Enjoy!

This meal was so yummy! I prepared this dish before I left for church this morning and when we got home (31/2 hrs later) it was ready for the cheese and bacon. The whole house smelled wonderful and it was delicious! Thank you so much for sharing!Reply
- Aunt Lou says
Hi Lynne!I’m so glad your family enjoyed this as much as we did! It really is the perfect timing to throw on before you go to church and have lunch waiting on you when you get home!

Could you cook this meal longer than four hours? I work a 7 hour day, typically.
Reply
- Cris says
Hi Brea-
This recipe might best be tried on a weekend. I am afraid cooking it for 7+ hours might result in an overcooked meal. If you want to give it a shot for a longer time, you could put a baking dish inside your slow cooker and fill the dish with the recipe. Then, pour water into the crock until it hits about halfway up the outside of your baking dish. That method may buy you some time. I would still recommend cooking it the first time that way on a weekend when you can watch it to see how long it takes though. Hope that helps!
- Sharon says
Are you suppose to leave the bacon grease in the skillet when you warm up the soup?
Reply
- Aunt Lou says
Hi Sharon!You do not drain the drippings. There wasn’t much left after browning the chicken, but it helps to add a nice flavor to the soup. Enjoy!
