Easy Chicken Recipe with Honey Mustard in a Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce
- 60 ml mustard
- 2 tbsp. malt vinegar
- 4 crushed garlic cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 30 ml water
Instructions
- Combine honey, soy sauce, mustard, malt vinegar, garlic, and black pepper in a 4-quart slow cooker.
- To thoroughly incorporate all of the ingredients, stir them together.
- Spread a generous amount of sauce over the chicken and press it in firmly.
- The chicken should be cooked on low for 6 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until it is tender and moist.
- If possible, stir the chicken twice during the cooking process and push the meat down in the sauce.
- Depending on preference, you can thicken the sauce (about 1 hour before the chicken is- finished cooking).
- In a small bowl; combine cornstarch and cold water to make the corn starch slurry.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that all of the cornstarch is complete- dissolved and no lumps remain.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker teriyaki mixture quickly to avoid the cornstarch thickening and becoming lumpy.
- Finish the last hour of cooking.
- Serve the hot fresh chicken over rice, spaghetti, or in a sandwich!
