This Crock Pot Honey Mustard Chicken is super flavorful and is easy enough to make on a weeknight. It’s the perfect protein for any meal!
Have I mentioned how “Quick and Easy” is the theme in our house for dinner, lately? I loved our Crock Pot before, but now, oh now, it’s a life saver. This whole working mom thing is seriously kicking my ass. Shout out to all the other working moms out there to little ones. Solidarity, sisters! I’ve got an easy dinner for you: Crock Pot Honey Mustard Chicken!
Ingredients Needed:
- Boneless chicken breasts
- Homemade Dijon Mustard
- Homemade Chicken Stock
- Liquid smoke
- Garlic (do we make anything without garlic?)
- Honey
- Kosher salt
Now that I’m waking up at 5 am and not getting home until 6 pm, the only thing I have time for these days is whatever can be done in the Crock Pot. The best part of Crock Pot meals? They can be mostly made the night before. 
How to Make Crock Pot Honey Mustard Chicken:
Mix ingredients in bowl. Add chicken.
Let marinate overnight. Put in the Crock Pot and forget about it. Don’t think about it all day while you’re at your busy job or while you’re watching your kids, or while your painting your nails and eating bon bons. Whatev.
No matter what you do while you’re not thinking about dinner, once it’s done, give that chicken a shred and yummm.
What to Serve with Crock Pot Honey Mustard Chicken:
Serve it over rice! Serve it in a sandwich! Toss it on a salad! Anything, is the answer! Or just on it’s on with some of our favorite sides!
Balsamic Spinach and Mushrooms
… the list goes on and on! Check out our sides and salads!
We put this over some simple brown basmati rice cooked in chicken stock and ahhh quick and easy dinner!
So to all the working moms and dads out there who don’t have time to cook because they’d rather snuggle their little ones at night after work, I’ve got your back. Stay tuned for more meals made from scratch that are also easy enough for the working (exhausted) parent. 😉

Ok, so I haven’t tried the recipe yet but I just wanted to say I appreciate how nicely it printed out. Maybe that is silly but I abhor printing out a recipe only to find that it takes multipple pages due to ads and formatting weirdness. It is then awkward to read and it makes me grumpy so I avoid all other recipes on that particular as well. So, thanks! 🙂
Awww TK that is SO nice!! So glad it formats well for you and I hope you enjoy the recipe, too!
Oh man, LOVE honey mustard chicken. It’s one of those flavors that reminds me of my childhood and I could eat it every single week. I’ve never made a crockpot version of it, but as a mother of a toddler, I’m totally sold. It sounds perfect!
Yes! My toddler loved it – and I love how easy it is!
A crock pot had to be invented by a woman who could not squeeze another minute out of the day. Coming home after being gone all day and having to think of cooking a meal is not easy. This honey mustard chicken sounds amazing. You could use the leftover for sandwiches. Love all the flavors going on in the chicken — with the crock pot would not dry out.
Omg YES. Marisa, I love the way you think. Definitely an invention by an overworked woman! 😉
First of all–go YOU!! Creatively getting a healthy, proper dinner on the table after a 12+ hour day is the working mom’s challenge, that’s for sure. I really like that this chicken is so versatile. Served over rice and salads sound delish. I’d probably toast a really great sandwich roll for another way to serve it.
Thank you so much, Kirsten!
I can’t even tell you how much I love Dijon mustard and am always looking for excuses to use it. This chicken dish is the perfect opportunity and I can’t wait to try! Thanks for sharing another brilliant recipe 🙂
Love everything about this. So simple yet so incredibly yummy looking. My gosh…look at the fork-tender chicken. Honey mustard chicken is our favorite, and in a slow cooker is brilliant. Thanks for this awesome recipe, will be making this very, very soon.
I love everything about this….especially that I can make most of it in the evening and then throw into the crock pot in the morning. Having this ready when I get home is going to be a game changer. We love honey mustard so this sounds just perfect for our house. Can’t wait to add this to our menu planning for this week.
It made our weeknights sooo much easier! Enjoy, Debra!
I have not jumped on the Instant Pot bandwagon….BUT I DO love using my slow cooker. I needed to figure out a dinner idea for an upcoming birthday celebration. I think this is it. Printing right now….awesome!!
You know, I’m with you, Gloria! I have an IP, but I mostly use it for the slow cook option because I broke our very old and well loved crock pot!
Honey Mustard is a classic that never gets old for me. Thank you for this amazing, must-pin crockpot recipe of it! I’ll keep it at hand!
Thanks, Michelle!
This is definitely a dish I am going to have to try in the crockpot, it looks amazing!
Enjoy!
What an absolutely gorgeous sounding recipe! Love all that mustard! I’ll be trying this soon 🙂
Thanks, Elizabeth! Enjoy!
I love rice and chicken. This looks like a perfect hassle-free recipe for those busy weeknights when you are in no mood to put in that extra effort and energy! Thanks for sharing.
You’re right – so easy for weeknights!
Love cooking with mustard gives so much flavor to chicken and other meats too. I need to use my crock pot and make this recipe soon, looks so tasty
It definitely does – thanks!
This looks easy & fabulous – my favorite things!
Mmm….this honey-mustard chicken looks so delicious! I’m adding this to my meal plan for next week.
What a tasty and easy way to fix chicken. And as good as it is for dinner and over a salad, how about making a sandwich out of it. I could see this on game day and having this done up. Put out some great tasting buns and condiments and you have one heck of a sandwich.
You’re right! This makes AMAZING sandwiches!!
Honey and mustard are one of my absolute favorite chicken flavors but I have never made it in a crockpot. I can’t wait to try this.
I love the flavors going on here and omg that chicken looks so so good. I could eat this as it is. I love quick and easy dinner recipes and crock pot makes cooking convenient
I love all the ingredients in this – it looks like a winner! Love that it’s so family friendly!
