‘Spray your slow cooker with oil,’ she wrote on Facebook.

‘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.’

Following this, the woman said all you need to do is cook it on high for four hours, while you go about your day.

'[It] was moist and tasted delicious,' the woman wrote. 'Definitely a winner with the family. The smell was amazing' (pictured after cooking)

Then, simply remove it, allow it to cool and enjoy hot. 

‘[It] was moist and tasted delicious,’ the woman wrote. ‘Definitely a winner with the family. The smell was amazing.’

Others were quick to compliment the woman and her ingenious idea.

‘This looks delicious – I can’t wait to try,’ one person posted.

Others asked whether it left the potatoes too watery underneath the chicken.

‘I put the potatoes in under the chook. Cooked perfectly. Not crispy or too oily,’ the woman wrote.

Some said they were keen to try the recipe with baked lamb too.

This isn’t the first time the 95 cent packet soup mix has proven the secret to a delicious dish.

Just last month, a woman said the soup also makes delicious roast potatoes.

‘When doing roast spuds, peel, cut and place in a baking dish then get French Onion dry soup mix and sprinkle over top of spuds,’ she said in a Facebook group.

Next, she drizzles oil over the top and then places the tray into the oven to bake.

‘It’s the only way I do roast spuds now,’ she said.

‘It’s the bomb, my mum taught me.’
