Vidalia onions, peeled and sliced
chicken breasts

Swiss cheese

How to make Crock Pot French Onion Chicken Recipe:

Add onions to the bottom of the crock pot.
Add chicken and place the chicken breasts on top.
Season chicken with salt and thyme.
Pour the Balsamic and the broth over the top.

Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 stirring occasionally.
30 minutes before serving, top with the sliced Swiss cheese.

Cook for 15 minutes to 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Spoon the onion mixture on top of the chicken and serve.

If you prefer to cook this on the stove top, melt butter and cook on medium heat to high heat. I like to slow cook my chicken but this is definitely an option if you forgot to put the chicken in the crock pot soon enough.

It is one of our favorite chicken recipes.

Another tasty option is French Onion Chicken Thighs.

You can easily substitute chicken thighs for the chicken breasts in this recipe. They are just as tender and delicious.

We often use what we have in the freezer or what is on sale that week. This might mean instead of chicken breasts, I toss in chicken thighs.

I have even used a mix of the two. My family never even noticed.

By shopping when things are on sale I save money on groceries and it really helps our budget. Saving money and feeding a big family can be accomplished.

Everyone loves this delicious dish so it is on our permanent menu plan rotation.

In fact, I cut our grocery bill by 50% off by following these 8 Tips for for Saving Money on Groceries by Menu Planning! Save that money for a family vacation or maybe just some wiggle room in the budget.

Take out these days is not that fast and costs a small fortune. It is even more if you have 8 kids like I do.

You will need a slow cooker for French Onion Chicken.

My absolute favorite is the Ninja cooker. As you know we are all about making life easier around here and the Ninja Cooking System sure helps with that.

The great thing about the Ninja is you can brown the meat in the same slow cooker for recipes that call for that. Talk about a time saver! It cuts down on pans to clean and just makes thinks really simple.

It has become of my favorite kitchen appliances. We just love ours.

I also really like this crockpot as well. I use this all the time and it's great.

My favorite feature is that you can lock the lid down. This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere.

I often use the slow cooker to take dishes to potluck events and this feature is amazing! There are several others on sale here.

Another favorite is this programmable crock pot for when I am am not at home all day. I love coming home to a nice meal ready and waiting!

I also like to use crock pot liners to make clean up a breeze. These are worth every penny and save a ton of time.

Anything to make life easier and cut down on the stress of getting dinner on the table fast.
