This delicious and homey one dish meal is very rich and easy. I love how the wild rice cooks in the crockpot, absorbing the flavors of the other ingredients.

Total Time: 8 hours, 15 minutes

Ingredients:
- 6 slices bacon

- 1-1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces

Preparation:
In large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon, crumble and refrigerate. Remove all but 1 tablespoon bacon drippings from skillet. Add onion and garlic to skillet and cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Stir in broth, water, and condensed soup; cook and stir until bubbly, 3-4 minutes. Place wild rice and carrots in 3-4 quart crockpot. Top with chicken pieces and pour mixture in skillet over chicken. Sprinkle with marjoram.
Cover crockpot and cook on HIGH for 1 hour. Stir mixture, making sure wild rice is submerged in liquid. Reduce crockpot setting to LOW and cook, covered, for 6-8 hours until chicken is thoroughly cooked and wild rice is tender. Sprinkle reserved bacon into crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
