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!

cooked shredded chicken in a crock pot

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:

chicken stock, raw chicken, mustard, honey, liquid smoke, salt, and garlic on a counter

Just six! Super easy. Super affordable.

  • Boneless chicken breasts - This would also be delicious with boneless chicken thighs.
  • Dijon Mustard - Have you made our homemade Dijon Mustard yet?
  • Chicken Stock - Have you made your own Homemade Chicken Stock yet? You could also use Homemade Vegetable Stock, too.
  • Liquid smoke - Optional but we love the flavor that this adds!
  • Garlic
  • Honey
  • Kosher salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

A bowl with stock, garlic, and mustard mixed

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!

Step 1: Mix everything (but the chicken) in a bowl.

Step 2: Add the chicken, cover, and then put in fridge until you're ready to use. Up to 18 hrs.

Step 3: 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.

Serve it With:

Serve it over rice!  Serve it in a sandwich (with some Homemade Bread)!  Toss it on a salad!  Anything.  Or just on it's on with some of our favorite sides!

Garlic Kale 

Asian Cucumber Salad 

Homemade Onion Rings 

Balsamic Spinach and Mushrooms

Black Bean Quinoa Salad

Asian Sesame Ginger Slaw

... 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.  😉

Enjoy! As always, if you make this recipe or any of my others, I love to hear what you think! Leave a comment below, email me, or you can find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest!

    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! 🙂

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Crock pot dinners save me on weeknights more often than not, and chicken usually features prominently. Honey mustard is a nice twist.

    I love when meals that are convenient to make on a busy night are really flavorful, too, and this Honey Mustard Chicken looks like it fits the bill! I love anything honey mustard, so this would be a dish that I would devour. I really need to start using my crockpot now for cozy dishes like this now that we're into fall. I ate a sandwich last night for dinner, and would've much preferred this chicken!

    This is such a deliciously brilliant recipe! I don't know why I've never thought of upping the honey mustard chicken game like this. I've always associated that pairing with sandwiches or chicken fingers, but damn! The flavors go together so well, of course you can take it away from fast food and turn it into a comforting home-cooked meal <3

    My mom loves honey mustard. She serves it with everything! But, she never made it herself. I love that you made your own mustard and added honey instead of just buying a jar. But, I also love that the chicken recipe is super easy. Easy meals are so needed on weeknights!

      Hi Jill! I don't normally, but I did do an analysis for this recipe: assuming 6 servings: Amount Per Serving

      I hope this helps! Although it looks like there's a lot of sodium, but that's using data from a generic store bought chicken stock, so if you used your own or a low sodium, that will bring that count down quite a bit. I used the site Calorie Count 🙂 https://www.caloriecount.com
