This slow cooker honey mustard chicken recipe is so simple to make and will be a family favourite. Brown off the chicken and then dump everything in the slow cooker, and you have the most tender, sweet and tangy, saucy chicken, perfect for serving over rice, mashed potatoes, or any vegetables you like.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and diced onion to the pan and cook until the chicken is browned on all sides and the onion is softened.
Transfer the browned chicken and onions to the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, cornflour, mustard powder, honey, wholegrain mustard, and Dijon mustard. Mix well.
Pour the chicken stock over the top.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours.
Once it’s finished cooking, use a fork or tongs to break up the chicken into smaller pieces.
Stir in the coconut milk, if using. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the honey mustard chicken over rice with steamed green beans or any vegetable of your choice.
