French Onion Slow Cooker Chicken
You can just add all your ingredients into the slow cooker and sit back and watch it cook away. It comes out full of flavor and so tender. When it’s all cooked and ready to go, I love topping it with a bunch of Swiss or Mozzarella cheese! I love turning this recipe into sandwiches that can then be dipped back into the soup in the slow cooker. It is a recipe that will have you coming back for more every time you make it.
Key Ingredients You’ll Need
- Chicken: I like to use boneless skinless chicken for this recipe.
- Onion: You will need onion, onion soup mix, French onion soup, and French fried onions.
- Swiss Cheese: I like to use this or Mozzarella cheese.

My husband loves French onion soup and this sounds wonderful…problem is we are now on a 2000mg of salt daily. Do you have any suggestions of how to keep the flavor but use a lot less salt items besides the onion soup mix..I do use less salt or salt free broth..
Hi Peggy. In looking at the nutritional info, it seems like the sodium estimation is a bit high and this would all depend on what low sodium products you could use. A low sodium soup and maybe using some onion powder instead on the mix may get you where you want to be when divided by the number of servings.
