Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Grease the insides of the slow cooker with nonstick spray or olive oil.
  2. Place your boneless chicken breasts or thighs in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.

  4. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.

Notes

Thaw chicken before use for best results. Cooking on LOW preserves moisture. Add a splash of chicken broth when reheating to keep the chicken moist.
