Easy Slow Cooker French Onion Chicken is made so simple with just a few ingredients. It's a dump-and-start recipe that you can make on busy weekdays to feed the whole family!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced, about 1 cup
  • 10.5 oz can condensed French onion soup
  • 1 oz packet onion soup mix
  • 2-3 slices sliced cheese go for Provolone, Swiss, Gruyere, or Mozzarella
  • French fried onions optional
  • Parsley optional

Instructions

  • Spray an 8-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray before laying the ingredients.
  • Add chicken to the slow cooker, followed by sliced onion, French onion soup mix, and sprinkle onion soup mix.
  • Give everything a quick stir, cover with the lid, and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6 hours.
  • 15 minutes before done, sprinkle the crispy fried onions if using, and add a slice of provolone cheese on top of each chicken breast. Cover, and cook for 15 more minutes.
  • Serve with a garnish of chopped fresh parsley over cooked noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

If you have time, for extra flavor brown the sliced yellow onion and the chicken before adding to the slow cooker. This is an extra step that is optional, but adds a yummy flavor to the chicken.

 Use a mix of onions: I used one large yellow onion, but a combination of sweet onions such as Vidalia and yellow onions can give the dish a more complex flavor.

 You can shred the chicken if you prefer. It will absorb more sauce, and will be great on noodles, mashed potatoes, rice, or in sandwiches.

Gail's Notes:
I haven't tried this yet, but it does remind me a lot of my Mom's Onion Soup Chicken from way back in the day.

Add sugar to dissolve. Let cool (I put mine in the freezer for about 15 minutes--worked just fine to cool it down).  Once it is cool, add the olive oil, balsamic glaze (optional), and dressing mix.  Shake well and refrigerate for about an hour before serving. Gail's Notes:  This is my version of Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing that I just made and it is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! It is based on a recipe found here .  Note that I cut the ingredients in half (from the original recipe) because I wanted to make sure it tastes as good as it looks and man, it really does taste like Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing!  I will definitely keep this recipe handy (as I use Zia's dressing f
