These Cheesy French Onion Chicken Sandwiches are the ultimate party or game day food! Soft rolls loaded up with slow cooker chicken, caramelized onions and loads of melt cheese. This is the perfect recipe to feed your hungry crowd!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, another oven baked sandwich recipe. What can I say? I just love sandwiches dripping with melted cheese! And these Cheesy French Onion Chicken Sandwiches are the ultimate! They are very easy to make. The chicken and onions can be prepared ahead of time, making this recipe great for parties.
I have had a weird obsession with caramelized sweet onions lately so these sandwiches really hit the spot for me.
Here are a few more awesome sandwiches for you too try: Hot Italian Sandwiches – Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Cuban Sandwiches – Oven Baked Pepperoni Pizza Sandwiches
The chicken is made simply with butter and onion soup mix in the slow cooker. Cook, shred and it is ready. 
The onions need a little more attention. Just slowly sauté while stirring occasionally until the onions turn this glorious golden brown color. You could even caramelize them more for a deeper flavor if you prefer. 
Then it is just a matter of assembling the sandwiches and baking in the oven until melty. 
Oh, just look at those stretchy strands of cheese. Isn’t it glorious!?!?! 
These are best served hot right out of the oven. And they will be gone in no time! There is enough chicken for two batches so you may want to make an extra batch on golden onions. You wouldn’t want a riot on your hands. 
These Cheesy French Onion Chicken Sandwiches are the ultimate party or game day food! Soft rolls loaded up with slow cooker chicken, caramelized onions and loads of melt cheese. *The shredded chicken recipe makes enough for 2 batches. However, all other recipes/ingredients need to be doubled for a second batch.

April 20, 2017 atThe shredded chicken recipe makes enough for 2 batches. However, all other recipes/ingredients need to be doubled for a second batch. So if you double all the other ingredients besides the chicken this will make 24.

September 13, 2017 atCould I make this with chicken thighs instead? Would it be the same amount of cooking time?
Nicole Harris says
September 21, 2017 atBoneless thighs should work. The cooking time may change a bit since thighs are usually a bit smaller than breasts.
