Lazy Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Chicken Hacks:
- I used a Slow Cooker Liner which allowed for easy clean up and storage. Click here to see my favorite kind.
- This is the ultimate dump and go recipe. The sauce is delicious and would go well over pasta, veggies or even a baked potato.
- Since I have some dark and light meat eaters on my team, I have made this with both. The pictures here show both thighs and breasts. The breasts were frozen, the tight were fresh. They all cooked together for the same amount of time and were both delicious.
- The safest way to cook anything is your slow cooker is alway to check the internal temperature before serving. For chicken, the recommended temperature is 165 F. If you are cooking breasts, they can dry out quickly, monitoring the internal temperature can also help avoid this. Need a meat thermometer? This one is my favorite!
