Put Raw Sliced Onions in a Slow Cooker with These 2 Ingredients. Dinner Doesn’t Get Easier

The 3-Ingredient Wonder Dinner

All you need for this magic-in-a-pot recipe are:

• Raw sliced onions
• Boneless chicken thighs or pork chops
• A can of cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken if you prefer)

That’s it. Seriously.

How to Make It:

1. Layer the Onions: Start by slicing 1–2 medium onions and spreading them evenly across the bottom of your slow cooker. They’ll break down and become sweet, tender, and almost jammy during cooking—adding deep flavor to the entire dish.
2. Add the Meat: Place 4–6 boneless chicken thighs (or pork chops) on top of the onions. No need to brown them—this recipe is all about low-effort cooking.
3. Pour the Soup: Spread a can of cream of mushroom (or chicken) soup over the meat. Don’t dilute it—just scoop it straight from the can. It will melt into a savory gravy as it cooks.
4. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours, or high for 3–4 hours, until the meat is tender and everything is swimming in flavorful gravy.

Why This Works So Well

The magic here is in the combination of ingredients. The onions release moisture and sweetness, the soup provides creaminess and seasoning, and the meat becomes incredibly tender as it slowly cooks in all that goodness. It’s a recipe that requires no stirring, checking, or fuss—just set it and forget it.
