Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup yellow mustard
  • 1 ½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup salted butter (melted)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • ½ tsp. dried leaf oregano
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup heavy cream (add at the end)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker, creating a base for the sauce to soak into the meat.
  2. Make the honey mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Set aside the heavy cream to add later.
  3. Add the sauce to the chicken: Pour the prepared honey mustard mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  4. Slow cook the chicken: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW heat for 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
  5. Add the heavy cream: Once cooking is complete, pour the heavy cream into the slow cooker to enrich the sauce and add creaminess.
  6. Shred the chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing well so the cream combines thoroughly with the sauce for a smooth finish.
  7. Serve: Spoon the creamy honey mustard chicken onto plates or over your favorite sides. Enjoy this warm, hearty meal!

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, cook uncovered on HIGH for the last 30 minutes to reduce the liquid if preferred.
  • Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
  • Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier texture.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of honey to taste.
