So have you tried this Crockpot French Onion Chicken Recipe yet?

Once you drain the juices, you mix the juices with the sour cream and soup?
Hi Angela,
You’ll drain and discard the juices. Then you’ll mix the French Onion Soup with Sour Cream and pour that over the chicken. This will ensure a thicker more flavorful sauce. Hope that helps!
We were moving this weekend and discovered the stove/oven didn’t work at the last minute, so my crockpots have been out through the ringer. Using what I had, this was a favorite last night. I used bone-in chicken thighs and increased the time. I didn’t have the soup on hand, but used onion soup mix, and stirred it and some of the cooking juices into the sour cream. Served it with crockpot potatoes and a side of broccoli. Thanks for the great recipe!
That sounds delicious, Mandy! Crockpots are definitely a lifesaver during a big move!
Made these with chicken tenderloins. My 5 year old looooved it! Soooo yummy and the chicken wasn’t dried out at all! Definitely will be make again!
So glad to hear your family loved it, Heather! Using tenderloins is a great idea!
Do you add a can of water to the soup before mixing with sour cream?
Hi Joan ~ no water is needed… you’ll just use the contents of the soup can. Hope that helps!
Quick ? ……. Has anyone else tried it with other pieces of chicken ….. Not a bid fan of boneless chicken breast
Hi Anne ~ you could try it with boneless thighs if you prefer dark meat… or it’s also delicious with pork chops! Here’s a recipe for that:
https://thefrugalgirls.com/2017/03/french-onion-pork-chops.html
Hope that helps! 😉
Thanks so much for the quick reply …… What about bone in chicken thighs ….. So much cheaper …… Longer cooking time perhaps ……. Let me know what you think …… Anne
Hi Anne ~ if you’re using bone-in chicken thighs you’ll want to cook a bit longer. It will honestly just depend on the size of the thighs, but I would use this cook time as a starting point, then at the end start checking them to see where they’re at and lengthen the time by 20 minute increments as needed. Enjoy! 🙂
Thanks again ….. Can’t wait to make ….. have a wonderful week!!!!!
You’re very welcome, Anne… hope you have a great week, too!
Have you ever tried replacing sour cream with Greek yogurt?
Hi Magen,
I haven’t tried that yet, but if you do… let us know how it turns out!
What do you usually serve as a side with this? Noodles, rice?
Hi Sherri ~ I like to serve with rice and a salad, but it would be delicious with noodles, too! ENJOY! 🙂
Sounds terrific! It’s in the pot now! Thanks for the great crockpot recipes- I love them.
Aww ~ you’re very welcome, Sherri! 😉
Curious if the sour cream could be substituted with Greek yogurt?
Hi Kat… I haven’t tried that, but if you do let me know how it turns out! 😉
Don’t you need liquid in the pot to start cooking the chicken?
Hi Laura ~ no liquid is required, as the chicken will end up cooking in its own juices that it releases. Hope that helps!
Can you use frozen chicken breasts?
I did and it turned out great.
