→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 -
1/2 cup pure honey
03 -
1/2 cup classic yellow mustard
04 -
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
→ Seasonings & Flavor Base
05 -
1/4 cup salted butter, melted
06 -
2 fresh garlic cloves, finely minced
07 -
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
08 -
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
09 -
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
→ Finishing Touch
10 -
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (add at the very end)
# Instructions:
01 -
Place your chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of your slow cooker, making sure they're not overlapping too much.
02 -
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set the heavy cream aside for later - don't add it yet!
03 -
Pour the honey mustard mixture evenly over the chicken, making sure each piece gets coated. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 6 hours without lifting the lid.
04 -
Once cooking time is complete, stir in the heavy cream. Using two forks, shred the tender chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing everything together until the cream and sauce create a creamy, cohesive mixture.
05 -
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve immediately while hot. The chicken should be incredibly tender and flavorful!
# Notes:
01 -
This recipe works beautifully with different chicken cuts - try drumsticks, bone-in thighs, or even chicken tenderloins for variety.
02 -
For a gourmet twist, substitute half the yellow mustard with Dijon mustard, or add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.
03 -
Turn this into a complete meal by adding baby carrots, diced potatoes, or green beans to the slow cooker.
04 -
Perfect for meal prep - the flavors actually get better the next day! Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
