  • 40g sachet French onion soup mix

  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup Liquid Stock Chicken Style
  • 1/4 cup Woolworths Thickened Cream
  • small sprig thyme

    Trim thigh fillets and cut each into 3-4 pieces. Place in bowl of slow cooker. Top with onions, garlic and carrots. Sprinkle over French onion soup mix and add plenty of cracked pepper, then stir everything together. Pour over chicken stock and cream, and tuck the thyme in.

Recipe Notes

For extra flavour, you can brown the chicken pieces in a frypan before adding to the slow cooker.

Choose a salt-reduced soup mix then season to taste, so you have control over the salt quantities.
