This Crockpot Honey Mustard Chicken is an easy 10-minute prep dinner made with tender chicken breasts, sweet honey, tangy Dijon mustard, garlic, and simple seasonings. Slow cooking keeps the chicken flavorful and juicy, while a splash of cream creates a rich, comforting sauce. Serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side for an easy family-friendly weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb chicken breast (about 4, 6 oz. pieces), chicken thighs will work
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ c honey
  • ¼ c dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • optional: 2 Tbsp corn starch and 4 T cold water

Instructions

  1. Pat your chicken dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, oregano, onion powder and paprika over top, covering the chicken.
  2. Whisk the honey, dijon mustard, garlic and melted butter together until smooth. Pour the mixture over top of the chicken, covering them as much as you can.
  3. Close and cook on LOW heat for about 3 hours or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Check in at 2 hours if possible.
  4. When chicken is cooked, you can pull it apart in large chunks or completely shred it. About 30 minutes before serving, add the cream and stir into the sauce.
  5. To thicken the sauce, whisk the cold water and cornstarch together until smooth. Stir it into the sauce and allow it to heat on the warm or low setting for about 30 minutes to thicken. It will thicken more the longer it cooks and may take a bit depending on your crock pot.
  6. Once to desired thickness, serve.

Notes

  • Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container for about 3-4 days. For best results, store the chicken with plenty of sauce. To freeze, allow it to cool completely and transfer to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Don’t overcook the chicken. If your crock pot automatically switches to the warm setting after cooking, that can help prevent overcooking. Otherwise, check around the 2-hour mark and adjust as needed.
  • Only cook on the low setting. Cooking chicken on high too often can result in tough, dry chicken.
  • The butter in the honey mustard sauce helps keep lean chicken breasts juicy. If using chicken thighs, you can omit the butter or substitute it with olive oil.
