Crock Pot Honey Mustard Chicken
Easy, fast, and delicious. Our Crock Pot Honey Mustard Chicken is a simple shredded chicken recipe with a ton of flavor that makes it perfect to serve with rice or potatoes, on salads, or as sliders!
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 lifesaver with crazy busy schedules. Shout out to all the other working moms out there to little ones, solidarity, sisters! For those insanely busy weeknights, I got you. Here’s one of our go-to quick and easy favorites, our Crock Pot Honey Mustard Chicken!
Ingredients Needed
- 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 – A staple in most of our chicken recipes.
- Honey – The honey of the honey mustard!
- Cumin – It’s subtle but it adds great flavor!
- Salt and Pepper – To season.
- Fresh Parsley – To finish with.
Easy to Make
It doesn’t get much easier than add some chicken to a crock pot, season with salt, and then mix the rest of your ingredients together to pour over that chicken.
Then it’s just a matter of letting it slow cook in your crock pot!
Let that crock pot do its thing and once that chicken is done just give it a quick shred and top it with some fresh parsley. That’s it! Crock Pot Honey Mustard Chicken, done.
How to Serve It
- Over Rice – Like our Coconut Jasmine Rice.
- With Potatoes – Like your favorite mashed potatoes.
- As Slides – In our Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls or Homemade Hawaiian Rolls!
- On Salad – Put it over your favorite green salad or on our Grilled Romaine.
… the list goes on and on! Check out all of our sides and salads!
Recipe Tips
This is a great recipe to prep in advance and make this honey mustard chicken even easier! You can prep it all and let it marinate in the fridge over night, or prep the honey mustard sauce up to 3 days in advance before adding it to the chicken.
We love to shred this chicken in all of that flavorful honey mustard sauce to keep it all nice and juicy, but you could also serve it as whole breasts, too.
This is a great recipe to freeze! Cook, shred, cool and then add it to your freezer safe containers and store for up to 4 months.
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!

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
This sounds soo good! Thanks!
