Swaps that keep this dish what it is. The prices on this page are for the recipe as written.

Gluten-free
- 40 ml Gluten-free Worcestershire sauce instead of Worcestershire sauce
Nothing changes in the cooking.
Dairy-free
- 80 g Dairy-free cheese instead of reduced-fat cheddar
Dairy-free cheese melts more slowly, so give it an extra minute or two under the grill and watch that it does not scorch.

Method

Take each chicken breast, wrap a bacon medallion around the middle and secure it with a cocktail stick.
Set the chicken aside, then add all of the remaining ingredients into the slow cooker and stir well.
Place the chicken on top and replace the lid. Cook on high for 2½-3 hours (or low if you're leaving it on all day).
When the time is up, check that the chicken is cooked. Remove it from the slow cooker and set aside.
Blitz the sauce with a stick blender until smooth.
Place the cooked chicken in an ovenproof dish and remove the cocktail sticks.
Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts and top with cheese. Divide the cheese equally between all four chicken breasts.
Place under a hot grill until the cheese is melted and a nice golden colour.
