Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, garlic powder, and chicken broth until smooth.
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over them, ensuring they’re fully coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shred with a fork.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken and stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water). Cook on high for another 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Top the chicken with the sauce and serve warm over your favorite side dish.
