Savory Simplicity: Let Your Crockpot Create Magic with French Onion Chicken and Rice
Ingredients:
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced

- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup long-grain white rice

- 1 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
1. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper to taste.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides, then transfer them to the slow cooker.
3. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and dried oregano. Stir for an additional 1-2 minutes.
4. Add the caramelized onion mixture to the slow cooker on top of the chicken breasts.
5. Sprinkle rice over the chicken and onions.
6. Pour beef broth over the rice, ensuring it covers the rice and chicken evenly.
7. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
8. Sprinkle shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese over the chicken and rice during the last 15 minutes of cooking, allowing it to melt.
9. Once done, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
