Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 4 medium-sized breasts
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth low-sodium
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water, for thickening

Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker (6-quart)
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
  4. Optional: To thicken the sauce, remove the chicken from the slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce in the crockpot. Cover and cook on HIGH for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  5. Return the chicken to the thickened sauce and coat well. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

For best results, do not overcook the chicken breasts as they can become dry.
Feel free to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for an even juicier result.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
