Description
A comforting and flavorful slow cooker dish featuring tender chicken in a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb chicken breast (about 4 pieces, 6 oz. each) or chicken thighs
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- Optional (for thickening): 2 Tbsp cornstarch + 4 Tbsp cold water
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, oregano, onion powder, and paprika.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on LOW for approximately 3 hours or until the internal temperature hits 165°F.
- Shred or cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks for serving.
- About 30 minutes before serving, stir in heavy cream.
- For a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with cold water and add to the slow cooker, cooking for an additional 30 minutes.
- Serve warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or alongside sautéed vegetables.
Notes
For a creamy texture, stir in heavy cream towards the end of cooking. Marinating chicken in the sauce overnight enhances flavor.
