Yummy in my tummy! My hubby can't seem to get enough of this one!

Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs are a go-to for those days when you have a million things to do, but still want a home-cooked meal. This dish combines the tanginess of mustard with the sweetness of honey, creating a flavor profile that's simply irresistible. With a slow cooker, you can set it and forget it, making it perfect for busy weekdays. Plus, chicken thighs tend to be more forgiving and juicy compared to chicken breasts, so they're perfect even for those who are still building confidence in the kitchen.

This chicken pairs wonderfully with some creamy mashed potatoes or a light rice pilaf. For veggies, I recommend roasted Brussels sprouts or green beans. If you're planning a weekend meal, consider serving it with a crusty loaf of bread to soak up all that delicious honey mustard sauce.

Servings: 4

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

1. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker and pour the honey mustard mixture over them, ensuring each piece is well coated.

3. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

4. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. About 30 minutes before serving, stir the slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.

5. Once the sauce has thickened, serve the chicken thighs hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

For a bit of a kick, you can add a teaspoon of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce to the honey mustard mixture. If you prefer, you can use chicken breasts instead of thighs; just be mindful they might cook a bit faster. For extra veggies, toss in some sliced carrots or baby potatoes in the slow cooker, and they'll soak up all that wonderful sauce.
