Crockpot French Onion Chicken
This Crockpot French Onion Chicken recipe will hopefully bring you as much comfort and yumminess as it did for me đŸ™‚
There’s just something comforting about crock pot/ slow cooker meals.
Knowing when you’re at work or away for the day that dinner will be waiting for you when you get home.
The anticipation of walking through your door to the delicious smells coming from your kitchen.
How to Make Crockpot French Onion Chicken
It starts with a few boneless, skinless chicken breasts and lots of thinly sliced onions and garlic in the crockpot.
This may look like a lot of onions, but as they cook they reduce down to almost nothing.
Then whisk together some beef broth, balsamic vinegar, worcestershire sauce, sugar, and cornstarch.
Pour this mixture over the chicken and onions.
Set the crock pot to low for 6-8 hours.
Now the cornstarch doesn’t add flavor, but it will help the liquid to thicken just a bit.
THIS is what you will come home to!
And let me just say it really smells just like French onion soup!
I turned the heat to high for the last hour just to get the liquid to bubble and thicken more.
The best part of french onion soup is the bread and cheese topping, right?!
Break the French onion chicken apart with a fork into smaller pieces and top with cubed ciabatta bread…
Lots of provolone cheese and fresh thyme go over the bread.
It only took about 5 minutes to melt to cheesy perfection.
A little fresh thyme over top of the French Onion Chicken adds a little something special đŸ™‚
We had some leftovers to bring to work for lunch the next day.
In my opinion I really think it was even better reheated, all the flavors had time develop even more!
