Slow Cooker French Onion Chicken
This slow cooker french onion chicken brings tender chicken, sweet onions, and melty Swiss cheese together with almost no hands-on time. It’s a cozy, protein-forward dinner that’s perfect for busy nights.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1 lb
- 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup low sodium beef broth
- 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Add the chicken breasts to the bottom of the slow cooker, then layer the sliced onions on top.
- In a large measuring cup, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and dry onion soup mix. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken and onions.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours or on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, until the chicken is tender.
- During the last 10 minutes of cooking, place one slice of cheese on each chicken breast. Cover again and let it melt until soft and gooey, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker, gravy-like sauce, remove some of the liquid after cooking and warm it on the stove, whisking in a cornstarch slurry until it reaches your desired texture.
- For storage, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days and reheat with a splash of broth to keep the chicken moist. Leftovers can also be shredded and served over rice, potatoes, or veggies for easy lunches throughout the week.
