I used my Instant Pot slow cooker function for this meal, and set it on \"Less\" (Low) for 4 hours. This turned out to be too long and the chicken was a bit overcooked but still edible (next time I'll do 3.5hrs). Despite this, the meal was delicious! I used regular onions, not red. I also used a bag of real bacon pieces (~1 tbsp = 1 slice of bacon). I also used chicken breast (which may have contributed to the time issue). We only needed 1 chicken breast for 3\/4 lb, so I cut it in half width-wise. I think the only thing I'd do differently is next time making double the amount of \"sauce\". I had made a side of boiled potatoes and had planned on using some of the sauce topping on the potatoes too but there just wasn't enough. Overall, an easy, yummy recipe that I'll be making again.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2012-02-28","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"PurpleBone"},"reviewBody":"This recipe was absolutely delicious.
