Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. This creamy sauce forms the flavorful base that will cook into the chicken, creating a luscious glaze.
  2. Add the chicken: Place your chicken breasts or thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken, making sure every piece is well coated for maximum flavor absorption.
  3. Slow cook: Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. Slow cooking ensures the chicken is tender and thoroughly infused with the honey mustard sauce.
  4. Finish and garnish: Once cooked, give everything a gentle stir if needed to coat chicken in the sauce again. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving for a fresh, vibrant touch.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for juicier results as they hold up well to slow cooking and stay tender.
  • Don’t skip the onion and garlic powders as they add depth without overwhelming the flavor.
  • Check the chicken at the minimum cooking time to avoid drying out, especially when using breasts.
  • To thicken the sauce, remove the chicken, switch the slow cooker to high, and stir in a cornstarch slurry until desired thickness.
  • Serve immediately for best taste, but leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen for convenience.
