I used a crock pot, cut the recipie in half but still used 6 pieces of bacon and also got rid of the kale alltogether, used garlic powder insted of cloves and added parm. Wonderful recipe, had alot of fun with it, it was a bit thin at fist but I left the crock pot on high with the lid off for 30 minutes, added a tbsp of flower to help thicken it up and shredded the chicken before plating. Paired it with a simple lemon rice!
