Mum’s 3-ingredient Slow Cooker French Onion Roast Chicken is the latest dinner hack sweeping Australia

It’s the new slow cooker recipe that’s taken Australia by storm - and with very good reason!

Sharing on Facebook, an Aussie mum has revealed the 95-cent secret to her amazing roast chicken - French Onion soup mix. 

Explaining the super simple recipe, the mum says you need just three ingredients to make it - a 1.5kg whole chicken, a little oil and a sachet of the soup mix.

She writes: 'Spray your slow cooker with oil,.

'Place onion, potato and carrot and any veggies of your choice to accompany it on the bottom of the slow cooker.

'Rub soup mix onto the chicken and place it in the slow cooker.'

Then you just cook it on high in your slow cooker for four hours - and it’s ready for the family!

The mum said it was ‘moist and tasted delicious ... Definitely a winner with the family. The smell was amazing.'

Other Facebook users were quick to applaud the amazing dinner idea. ‘This looks so good!’ wrote one. 

The new dinner hack comes just weeks after another mum revealed her ingenious hack for French Onion roast potatoes. So yum!
