Recipe Tips

  • You can use any cut of chicken in this delicious French onion chicken dish. I made use of chicken drumsticks, but thigh or breast will also work great.
  • The cornstarch thickener, although I recommend using it, it’s not actually required. If you don’t add it, then you will find that the liquid will be runny.
  • If you're running late, then this dish will be fine if it stays cooking on low for a few more hours. The chicken may fall off the bone when you go to remove it from the slow cooker.
  • Feel free to add more vegetables to this dish for a little extra flavor. It's also perfect for feeding even more people.
