Ingredients

1.2 to 1.4 kg bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup

1 packet dehydrated onion soup mix

Preparation

Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker, skin-side up.

In a bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup with the onion soup mix until you have a thick, smooth sauce.

Pour this mixture over the chicken to coat it well.

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, until the chicken is very tender.

Remove the skin if desired, then shred the meat directly into the sauce. Discard any bones and mix well so the chicken absorbs all the creamy sauce.

Serve hot with rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
