Crockpot Chicken and Bacon Keto Lettuce Wraps Recipe | Sandwich Option Too

You must kiss sandwiches goodbye when you go on a keto diet. Well, you need to kiss bread goodbye because it is all carbs. But sandwich fillings are often keto-friendly. This crockpot chicken and bacon keto lettuce wraps recipe shows how we can put those fillings to use. 

This crockpot chicken and bacon keto lettuce wrap recipe is an easy, healthy dinner recipe with an easy way to serve for those not on a keto or low-carb diet.

Anyone who has been on a low-carb diet or keto diet and cooks for a family knows the struggle. Making a keto dinner for families who are not all on a low-carb diet is not always easy.

There are some nights we end up making two different things to ensure everyone gets a plate. But every once in a while, you come across a recipe that serves two purposes.

This crockpot chicken and bacon keto lettuce wrap recipe is a perfect example. This recipe is for sandwich filling. Essentially, this recipe provides you with a chicken and bacon mixture that belongs between two slices of bread, usually buns.

However, there is no bread in the chicken mixture. Instead, the mixture is made with things that fit perfectly into a keto diet. That means you can make this recipe, and some of your family can enjoy the chicken mixture between two buns, while you can use romaine lettuce boats instead.

You can feed your family something they will find delicious, and you get a keto meal out of it; it’s a tasty win/win situation. But things get even better when you remember this recipe is a crockpot recipe!

Get this recipe started in the morning and come home to a meal that is ready to serve the family. You can also use this recipe to make a big batch of chicken and bacon mixture and then use it as meal-prepped lunches throughout the week.

School lunches, family dinners, or weekend snacks, this recipe is a jack of all meals. And the fact that it’s a crockpot recipe, which saves us time and effort, makes it a staple recipe.

Finding a recipe that serves as both a regular meal and a keto meal at once is more common than you may think. Many of those recipes are as simple as switching out a single ingredient.

Here, we will be swapping out the buns for lettuce wraps. But this is not an idea that is singular to this recipe. Almost any sandwich recipe can be turned into a keto option by switching out the bread for something low-carb.

For example, you can use romaine lettuce boats, lettuce wraps, or even put the filling on a bed of quinoa. There are many different ways to alter recipes and remove carbs from the equation.

You just need to get a little creative with your approach to cooking.

Low-Carb Chicken and Bacon Lettuce Wraps Ingredients

The ingredients in this crockpot chicken and bacon keto lettuce wrap recipe are simple. You will not need to spend too much making this recipe home. The star of the dish is the bacon, though some may say that chicken is the star since there’s more of it than anything else.

But we all know we enjoy this recipe mostly due to the bacon (which is low-carb.) We will need chicken breasts, bacon, chicken broth, frozen peppers (mixed colors,) shredded cheese, and then a seasoning mixture.

The seasonings include salt, pepper, Santa Maria seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Don’t worry; this dish is not very spicy at all. You will also need a couple of ingredients for the cooking process: white cooking wine and olive oil.

My favorite thing about crockpot recipes is that I can toss all of the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and have a delicious dinner waiting for me at the end of the day.

With carpool and driving my kids to and from sports, those evening hours are precious. Make it part of your crockpot chicken meal plan!

Crockpot Chicken and Bacon Keto Directions

Add all ingredients except cheese and bacon to crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until chicken is fully cooked. The chicken should shred easily on its own when you touch it with a fork. About one hour before the chicken will be done, cook the bacon in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Cook the bacon on tin foil to make cleanup easier.

Crumble crispy bacon into cooked chicken and add shredded cheese.

Mix together in the crockpot and simmer, or keep on warm until the cheese is blended and all the ingredients are warm.

I serve this crockpot bacon and chicken over lettuce or in lettuce wraps for a ketogenic low carb meal. If you are not on a low carb diet, you can serve this over toasted sandwich buns, rice, or base of your choice. 

It’s a versatile meal for sure!
