Crock Pot French Onion Chicken
"Easy and tasty! I came up with this one morning from what was left in my pantry. Even I was surprised at how well it turned out! You may consider using broth instead of water or thickening the juice into gravy. Either way, it is delicious!"

Chicken turned out moist and delicious; husband actually asked if I bought it or made it! I thickened the sauce up with cornstarch but it was too bland, so next time I will definitely use chicken or beef broth in place of the water and possibly add a second package of dry onion soup mix. -
Sad to say I was very disappointed in this recipe....extremely bland. If I make it again I will definately use beef broth and add some white wine to it to give it some flavor.

I have been a member of receipzaar for MANY years now. I was lucky enough to find the site as a college student and I think the delicious recipes contributed to my freshman 15!
Years later I am the primary cook for my husband and me. We are both chiropractors, trying to live to our highest potential so I love recipes that are quick, easy and healthy! But I also believe that everything is important in moderation so a little chocolate here and there won't hurt!
