Nothing beats the classic pairing of sweet honey and tangy mustard in this slow cooker chicken. Simple and delicious for a family weeknight meal!
I can’t get over using my slow cooker. I can set it and forget it, run errands with my daughter, or get some work done while dinner is cooking. Plus, the flavor you get from a slow cooker is so hard to mimic using the stove top or oven!
This honey mustard chicken is moist and has a mild sweet and slightly tangy flavor. It’s versatile – use bonless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, try dijon or spicy brown mustard for a different kick, or serve it over rice or veggies. I like it best with lettuce wraps and my Paleo satay sauce.
INGREDIENTS
2 lbs. skinless chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless)
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon prepared mustard (I prefer stoneground)
1 teaspoon madras curry powder
salt and pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Place chicken in the slow cooker.
2) In a small bowl, mix coconut oil, honey, prepared mustard, and curry powder.
3) Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours.
4) Salt and pepper to taste.
5) Enjoy in lettuce wraps, with julienned carrots and my Paleo Satay Sauce.
