Equipment
- 1 Crockpot
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. skinless boneless chicken breast
- 2 large sweet onions thinly sliced
- 2 cans condensed French onion soup 10.5 oz each
- 1 cup low sodium beef broth
- 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 2.5 oz. Swiss or Gruyere cheese shredded
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt 112g
- additional cheese for toppings
- fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the sliced onions at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the onions.
- In a medium bowl, combine the condensed French onion soup, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and the onions are tender.
- About 15 minutes before you’re ready to serve, shred the chicken by using forks or a meat masher and shred directly in the pot.
- Add the greek yogurt and mix together well until completely melted. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the chicken and onions. Cover the slow cooker again and let it continue to cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once the cheese is melted, serve hot over rice, noodles, mashed potatoes or vegetables, spooning the onions and extra sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs or parsley and additional cheese, if desired.
Notes
All nutrition facts are an estimate.
- Can be made into a soup by doubling beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and topped with bread and cheese.
- Option to keep chicken whole as opposed to shredding.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, over noodles or over rice.
- Serve as a standalone chicken meal alongside crusty bread and roasted veggies.
- This is one of those tricky ones that I suggest you weigh the final dish (all the food inside the pot) prior to serving. Then divide by the serving size to get your final grams per serving. The reason is the liquid. The weight can vary so much person to person that for the most accurate serving size you really should find the total weight. This crockpot french onion chicken recipe makes 8 servings.
