Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Chicken is a deliciously tender and flavorful dish made by cooking boneless skinless chicken breasts in a rich honey mustard sauce enhanced with Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, and butter. Finished with creamy heavy cream, this easy, hands-off recipe yields a creamy, savory chicken perfect for a comforting meal, requiring just a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup yellow mustard
  • 1 ½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup salted butter, melted
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ tsp. dried leaf oregano
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup heavy cream (added at the end)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker in an even layer to ensure even cooking.
  2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, melted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a smooth honey mustard mixture. Do not add the heavy cream yet.
  3. Combine: Pour the prepared honey mustard sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, making sure they are fully covered.
  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours to allow the chicken to become tender and infused with the sauce.
  5. Add cream: After the 6-hour cook time, stir in the heavy cream to the slow cooker to add richness and creaminess to the sauce.
  6. Shred the chicken: Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it thoroughly with the creamy honey mustard sauce for a consistent texture.
  7. Serve: Spoon the creamy honey mustard chicken onto plates or over your favorite sides and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • For thicker sauce, cook with the lid off for an additional 15-20 minutes after adding the cream.
  • This dish pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
  • Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a juicier texture.
