Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ medium lemon juice
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts skinless
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon parsley minced for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Make the marinade in a small bowl by whisking together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice.
  • Season the chicken with paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange in the slow cooker. Pour the sauce over evenly.
  • Cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165 °F.
  • Serve with parsley garnish and optional lemon wedges or slices on the side.

Notes

  • If you have extra time, quickly sear the chicken before slow cooking to enhance the flavor and lock in juices.
  • For a thicker sauce, mix in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Toss in veggies to the mix for a heartier dish. Try potatoes, baby carrots, sliced onions, or bell peppers.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dish, add a splash of apple cider vinegar for more tang.
  • Shred the chicken and mix with the sauce for an easy sandwich, wrap, or salad topping.
Serve: Slow cooker honey mustard chicken is best served with a side that can soak up its delicious sauce. Enjoy it with crusty bread slices, over rice, mashed potatoes, a light salad, or steamed vegetables.
Store: Let leftovers cool completely then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks. When ready to enjoy, reheat on the stovetop until warmed through. If frozen, let it thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
