healthy crockpot french onion chicken

French onion soup… but make it healthy, high protein, and family-friendly! This Crockpot French Onion Chicken is one of my go-to comfort food dinners when I need something cozy but easy (and still hit my protein goals). The French onion soup mix gives it all the flavor without hours of work, and topping with reduced fat mozzarella keeps it light but still cheesy and satisfying.
