I love this recipe but the cooking instructions given are kinda unnecesary. No need to bake the chicken separately - that's what the crock pot is good for! Just put them in with the sauce and cook longer. I usually do high for 3 hours but on low should be about 6-7, it will depend on how thick the chicken is. If you cut up the chicken into strips then it will take less time, just stir it occasionally.

Onion Soup Mix Saves The Day

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
