Notes

Variations
  • This recipe is very versatile! You can use any of these chicken cuts with great results. Anything with skin on it I would remove before serving:
    • Drumsticks
    • Bone-in or boneless chicken thighs
    • Chicken tenderloins
    • Whole Chicken (this will take additional time to cook, usually around 8 hours on low or until cooked through)
  • Grey Poupon can be used instead of regular mustard. Dijon mustard is made with white wine (or wine vinegar) and can add a great flavor to this dish. However, I suggest only using 1/4 cup and 1/4 cup of standard yellow mustard as well.
  • Add fresh thyme or rosemary to the crockpot for an aromatic touch.
  • Toss in baby carrots, diced potatoes, or green beans to cook along with the chicken.
Serving Suggestions
  • Over mashed potatoes, be sure to spoon over the extra honey mustard sauce!
  • With steamed white rice or rice pilaf
  • Serve as sandwiches by scooping the chicken onto toasted hamburger buns or you can put the honey mustard chicken in tortilla wraps with shredded lettuce and tomatoes.
  • You can also serve the chicken over pasta, such as egg noodles or penne.
