Crockpot French Onion Chicken
A simple and comforting slow-cooker chicken dish with creamy onion flavor, perfect over rice.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 to 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can unsalted cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz; can use regular)
- 2 envelopes Lipton's onion soup mix (or 2 tablespoons homemade onion soup seasoning)
- ½ cup water or low-sodium chicken broth (optional; for added sauce volume)
For Serving
- as needed servings hot steamed rice for spooning chicken over
Instructions
Preparation
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
- In a bowl, whisk together the can of cream of chicken soup, both envelopes of onion soup mix, and the ½ cup of water or chicken broth until smooth.
- Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken so each breast is coated.
Cooking
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Before serving, use two forks to break the chicken into bite-sized pieces in the sauce, or remove and shred, then return to the crock.
- Spoon the chicken and sauce over hot steamed rice and serve.
Notes
For a darker, richer flavor, swap one can of cream of chicken with cream of mushroom. Consider subbing with shredded rotisserie chicken to reduce cooking time. Store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 3–4 days.
