Ingredients
- 6–8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of mushroom soup

- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for browning chicken, optional)
Instructions
- Optional: Lightly brown the chicken thighs in a skillet with olive oil for added flavor.

- Place the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables in the crockpot.
