Creamy Garlic & Onion Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs

Recipe by Pam List

Tender, juicy chicken thighs slow-cooked in a rich, savory gravy made with creamy roasted garlic soup, onion soup mix, and a touch of red pepper flakes. This easy five-ingredient slow cooker chicken recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or a cozy Sunday supper. Serve it over mashed potatoes with your favorite green vegetable for a comforting, practically effortless dinner.

  • Total Time4 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield6 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 can Pacific Foods organic creamy garlic-flavored soup (or substitute cream of mushroom or cream of celery)
  • 1 packet organic onion soup mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • A sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add the chicken. Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Bring on the flavor. Spoon the creamy garlic soup over the chicken, followed by the packet of onion soup mix.
  3. Don’t waste a drop! Add ½ cup of water to the empty soup container, give it a good shake to collect all that creamy goodness, and pour it into the slow cooker. Just like our moms used to do!
  4. Add a little kick. Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the chicken.
  5. Let the slow cooker do the work. Cover and cook on HIGH for approximately 4 hours or LOW for approximately 6 hours, until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Finish with that gorgeous gravy. Spoon the creamy onion gravy over the chicken. If desired, let it cook another 15–20 minutes to bring the flavors together.
  7. Serve and enjoy! Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a little extra red pepper if you like a touch of heat.

Notes

To shred or not to shred? That’s the beauty of this recipe. The chicken thighs can be served whole with gravy spooned over the top, or shredded and stirred into the sauce for an entirely different dinner.
