Fun Steps to Make Bacon Hugging Chicken

1. Pound the chicken legs flat with a rolling pin or your hands – make them thin like pancakes!

2. Stir 1 teaspoon mustard with ½ teaspoon crushed garlic. Spread it all over each chicken leg.

3. Cover with spinach leaves and snip some chives on top. Slice the cheese into 3 pieces and put them in the middle.

4. Roll up the chicken super tight, like a sleeping bag. Wrap a bacon strip around it like a hug, and tie with string so it stays closed.

5. Line your slow cooker with baking paper. Lay the rolls flat inside.

6. Put a tea towel over the lid to catch steam. Cook on low for 6 hours. It’ll be tender and tasty!
