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

- 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.

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!

What a gorgeous meal!! I love using my crock pot — it makes lief so much simpler!!
WOW!!! This sounds perfect! I want to make this chicken for the next weekend! I know it would be a hit!
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!
First of all let me tell you how grateful I am that this isn’t an Instant Pot recipe. I don’t have one but I do have a Slow Cooker and we do love variety in our chicken recipes. This sounds so good. That touch of mustard and a bit of honey! YUM!!
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!
Gotta love a simple crockpot chicken recipe. Love all the flavors in the marinade, and I always have them too. I can’t wait to make this and have this delicious chicken waiting when we get home from the kids sports games.
It’s definitely a fav among the kids, too! Enjoy!
