Onion Soup Mix

(I don’t know where I got this recipe, but it’s definitely not my own)

8 t dried onion flakes

1/2 T dried parsley

1 t onion powder

1/2 t celery seeds

1/2 t salt

1/2 t sugar or equivalent sweetener  

1/4 t pepper

Combine ingredients and mix well. 

French Onion Chicken

(based on a recipe in The $21 Challenge)

1 T oil

1 onion, chopped

9 skinless chicken drumsticks (or 8 chicken thighs, skins removed)

1 can diced tomatoes

1 T soy sauce

1/2 c water

1 packet onion soup mix or 1 batch homemade ONION SOUP MIX

Put the chicken in the crockpot or slow cooker. Sauté the onion in the oil for a couple of minutes. Combine it with the other ingredients except the chicken and mix well. Pour it over the chicken, and turn the chicken to coat thoroughly. Cook on low for 8 hours.
