Notes
Nutrition
Yes! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work great and stay extra juicy.
Slow cookers vary. If rice isn’t tender, add ¼ cup hot broth and cook an additional 20–30 minutes.
You can, but low and slow produces better texture and prevents overcooked rice.

Do you use instant rice or long grain
My husband and I don’t eat chicken but I make this with boneless pork chops I don’t care for onion soup mix so I use double French onion soup.
Is this one box of onion soup mix or one envelope? Because the whole box is 2 ounces.
Can I use frozen chicken?
Hi! Do you know how I might do this in an instant pot? It looks so good!
I made this recipe using Basmati rice doing low for five hours with a brand new crock pot and the rice came out mushy. I also oiled the sides and added a couple tablespoons of oil to the mixture but it still stuck to the surface.
The chicken was mostly tender and overall the dish was somewhat tasty but the mushy rice made it taste bland overall.
Not enough rice for the amount of liquid…..was very tasty, but very mushy….
turned out very mushy
Crockpot French Onion Chicken ans Rice Recipe was a hit for both my husband and I. Easy to assemble and supper ready at he end of the day. Chicken not dry but moist. I used a package of shredded Swiss & Gruyere cheese instead of the Provolone & Mozzarella. Either I’m sure would be delicious. I liked this recipe didn’t include condensed soup !
