Clean Eating Onion Soup Chicken

I love chicken and there is no reason why chicken should ever become boring! This is a great, versatile recipe, technically there are three recipes. ;)

First off, I cannot take credit for the Homemade Onion Soup Mix. I am all for making my own mixes so that I can avoid chemical additives and be more in control of what my body takes in. That's where Our Nourishing Roots comes in. I found this recipe HERE.

Onion Soup Mix

2/3 cup dried minced onion
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon coconut sugar or whole cane sugar
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon celery salt (or 2/3 teaspoon sea salt plus 1/3 teaspoon celery seed powder)

1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

 

*2 tablespoons of this homemade mix equals one “packet” of the store bought version

  1. Put all the ingredients in a pint mason jar, shaking to combine.

 

Now, personally I quadrupled this recipe and have a quart jar filled. So, that should last me for some time. I've used this recipe with chicken in the crock pot, which seems to be the hubby's favorite, as well as my most recent venture on the stop top!

Stove Top Onion Soup Chicken

2 - 3 pounds Natural Chicken Breasts or Chicken Breast Tenderloins
1 - 2 tablespoons Homemade Onion Soup Mix* (above)
1 - 2 teaspoons olive oil

*2 tablespoons of this homemade mix equals one “packet” of the store bought version

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Place chicken in skillet and "fry" over medium heat until nearly cooked, turning when necessary.

  2. When the chicken is nearly finished sprinkle 1 - 2 tablespoons of the onion soup mix on top. Place a lid on the skillet and reduce heat. Allow the chicken to simmer for 5 minutes or until the moisture hydrates the onion.

  3. Remove from the skillet and enjoy!

Crock Pot Onion Soup Chicken

2 - 3 pounds Natural Chicken Breasts or Chicken Breast Tenderloins
1 - 2 tablespoons Homemade Onion Soup Mix* (above)

*2 tablespoons of this homemade mix equals one “packet” of the store bought version

  1. Place frozen or fresh chicken breasts in a crock pot.

  2. Sprinkle 1 - 2 tablespoons of the onion soup mix on top. Place a lid on the crock pot and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6. (NOTE: Cooking times will vary depending on your chicken, whether it's fresh or frozen.)

  3. Remove from the crock pot, shred and enjoy!


Let me know if you try this!!! I cannot wait to try the mix in some Turkey Burgers, yummo.

The onion soup mix recipe lists sea salt twice. Is this an error? Thanks! This sounds really good.

It's not a duplicate. If you don't have celery salt it's giving you the option to make your own with salt and celery seed powder. ;)

Celery Salt & Sea Salt are two different components.
