Crock Pot Honey Mustard Chicken
Description
This recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts seasoned with salt and cooked slowly in a crock pot with a mixed sauce of Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, chicken stock, liquid smoke, black pepper, and cumin. The slow cooking facilitates tender chicken that shreds easily and absorbs the smoky honey mustard sauce. The balance of tangy mustard and sweet honey complements the mild chicken.
The shredded chicken can be served over rice or potatoes, used in sliders, or combined with preferred side dishes for a hearty meal. The slow cooker method requires minimal active time, allowing effortless preparation.
Leftover chicken keeps well refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for 4 months. The honey mustard sauce can be made up to three days ahead for convenience. Proper storage ensures flavor retention and safety.
