Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
  • 1 10.5-ounce can condensed French onion soup
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the slow cooker by coating it with a light coating of cooking spray.
  • Place the thinly sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker and place the chicken breasts on top.
  • Pour the condensed onion soup and beef broth over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix evenly on top.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  • During the last 15 minutes of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve the chicken with the onion gravy spooned over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can easily meal prep this recipe the day before by assembling everything (with the exception of the cheese) and storing it covered in your slow cooker overnight in the fridge.
  • Ensure the chicken is done by testing it with a meat thermometer. It should reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
