Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Thickening Slurry

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Arrange the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in an even layer inside the slow cooker.
  3. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared honey mustard sauce over the chicken breasts, making sure all pieces are well-coated.
  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender.
  5. Thicken the Sauce: About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir this slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce. Continue cooking until the sauce is thickened.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, serve the chicken hot with the thickened honey mustard sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
