00:02Rich, cheesy French onion-inspired chicken, slow-cooked to perfection.

00:07Effortless to make, yet impressively gourmet, comforting and Instagram-worthy with zero culinary school effort.

00:14For the chicken, use 2 pounds of chicken thighs seasoned with 1.5 teaspoons of kosher salt,

00:201 teaspoon each of black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning.

00:26For the French onion base, combine 10.6 ounces of condensed Campbell's French onion soup,

00:322 French onion soup packets, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce,

00:36half a cup of beef broth, 2 sliced sweet onions, and 4 diced garlic cloves.

00:41For finishing, add 4 tablespoons of sliced salted butter,

00:452 bay leaves, 4 sprigs of fresh thyme, and 6 ounces of shredded Gruyere cheese.

00:50Pat the chicken dry, season with salt, pepper, and spices, and massage thoroughly for even coating and flavor.

00:58Sear in hot oil until beautifully golden on both sides, then transfer to the slow cooker.

01:04Deglaze the skillet with French onion soup, Worcestershire sauce, and broth, scraping up flavorful bits.

01:10Layer onions, soup packets, garlic, herbs, and butter over chicken.

01:15Cook on low until tender and juicy.

01:17Top with shredded Gruyere, broil until melted and golden, and serve warm with crusty bread or rice.

01:24To make it gluten-free, replace soup packets with a homemade blend of onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and bouillon.

01:31Ensure the condensed soup is gluten-free and serve with gluten-free bread or without.

01:36For a dairy-free version, use olive oil or vegan butter, and swap Gruyere for dairy-free cheese or fresh herbs.

01:42To create a low-carb option, skip soup packets, use more broth, fewer onions, and serve with cauliflower rice or zoodles.

01:51For flavor twists, add mushrooms, swap some broth for white wine, or use rosemary or sage instead of thyme.
