Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1 baguette, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Add the sliced onions to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Place the chicken thighs on top of the onions and season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Pour the mixture over the chicken and onions.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 hours until the chicken is tender and the onions are soft.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese over the chicken. Cover for 5 minutes to let the cheese melt.
  • Spoon the chicken, onions, and broth into bowls and serve with slices of crusty baguette for dipping.

Notes

For deeper onion flavor, you can quickly saute the onions in a skillet for 5 minutes before adding them to the slow cooker. Leftovers reheat well the next day with a splash of broth to loosen the sauce. Skip the cheese if you prefer a lighter version, or use Swiss in its place.
