Sweet, slightly tangy, buttery, and addicting, with one taste this Crockpot Honey Mustard Chicken will be your new favorite dinner. Similar to my Baked Honey Mustard Chicken, but made in a slow cooker.

Homemade Honey Mustard Sauce

While you can buy a bottle of honey mustard, I much prefer making this at home with a few simple (but delicious!) ingredients. It’s so tasty cooked low and slow in the crockpot with some chicken. Here are the basic ingredients:

• Onion and Garlic –two basic but powerful ingredients in terms of flavor!
• Dijon Mustard and Honey –this is where the sweet tangy flavor comes from. If you don’t have Dijon mustard, regular yellow mustard is a good substitute. Or feel free to experiment with any specialty mustard or honey.
• Salted Butter –I recommend using butter and not subbing it out for oil because the oil tends to make it a bit greasy while the butter is perfect for flavor and sauce consistency.
• Fresh Rosemary –I use rosemary sprigs that I later take out, however, if dried rosemary is all you have, go for it!

How to Make Honey Mustard Chicken

This slow cooker version of Honey Mustard Chicken has got to be the easiest dinner ever! Prepare ahead of time and then make some rice or get some sandwich rolls ready. For full details see the recipe card down below.

1. Place all ingredients into the crockpot and cook until the chicken is cooked through.
2. Remove rosemary sprigs.
3. Remove chicken and shred, then add it back into the sauce. Sprinkle on some chopped chives for a garnish and serve warm!

How Long to Cook Honey Mustard Chicken

Most crockpots have a ‘high’ setting, a ‘low’ setting, and a ‘keep warm’ setting. If you are confused at all here is how long to cook Honey Mustard chicken on low or high:

• If your crockpot is on high cook for 3-4 hours.
• If your crockpot is on low cook for 7-8 hours.

Freezing Instructions

Now, this is considered a freezer-meal, meaning that you can prep everything ahead of time and freeze it! Then when you are ready to make it, thaw the frozen ingredients and place them into your crockpot to cook away. Freeze up to 3 months.
