Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Fresh, plump breasts are best; thighs can be used as an alternative.
  • 1/2 cup honey Choose high-quality natural honey for the best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard Traditional Dijon is recommended, or use whole grain for texture.
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar Can substitute with white wine vinegar or lemon juice.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) for garnish Add fresh herbs at the end of cooking for a pop of freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, ensuring they’re arranged evenly.
  3. Pour your honey mustard mixture over the chicken, allowing it to coat each piece thoroughly.
Cooking
  1. Cover and slow cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
  2. After cooking, serve the chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or with roasted veggies, garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

For meal prep, double the ingredients for a hearty batch. Store leftovers in airtight containers; they will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
