Slow Cooker Onion Chicken

My neighbor learned this from her grandmother who survived the depression. The onions turn into the most incredible sweet sauce while the chicken becomes fall-apart tender. Simple ingredients, rich flavor, and pure comfort food.

Ingredients

• 6 chicken drumsticks or thighs
• 3 large onions, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Place sliced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. Add butter evenly over the onions.
3. Season chicken with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Place chicken on top of the onions.
5. Pour chicken broth around the chicken.
6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 4 hours.
7. Spoon the sweet onion sauce over the chicken before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with mashed potatoes
• Pair with rice or buttered noodles
• Add roasted vegetables on the side

Tip: For deeper flavor, brown the chicken in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
