Description
Tender chicken breasts bathe in a golden honey mustard blend as they slow-cook to perfection. The sauce thickens into a glossy, flavorful glaze that coats each succulent bite with sweet and tangy harmony.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a bowl whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Pour the honey mustard sauce evenly over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours, until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove cooked chicken and set aside; mix cornstarch and water in a small cup to create a slurry.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker liquid, cover, and cook on high for an additional 10 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Return chicken to the thickened sauce, spooning sauce over the top before serving.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, marinate chicken in the sauce overnight before cooking.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if preferred.
- Adjust honey and mustard ratios to suit your taste for sweetness or tang.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
