| Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs | 6 |
| Baby potatoes, halved | 1 pound |
| Medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks | 4 |
| Onion soup mix | 1 envelope |

- In a small bowl, combine the onion soup mix and condensed cream of chicken soup until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the chicken is fork-tender and fully cooked and the vegetables are soft.
