Description

If you’re looking for an incredibly flavorful, fuss-free meal that practically cooks itself, this Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Shredded Chicken Sandwich Recipe is your answer.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • ½ cup Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
  • Buns, rolls, or wraps for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Honey Mustard Sauce

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 2: Add Chicken and Sauce to the Crockpot

Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken.

Step 3: Cook on Low or High

Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easy to shred.

Step 4: Shred the Chicken

Remove the chicken and shred using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce in the crockpot and stir well to coat.

Step 5: Serve

Spoon the shredded chicken onto your choice of bread, rolls, or wraps. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • Use boneless chicken thighs for even more moisture and flavor.
  • Cook low and slow for the most tender results.
  • Shred the chicken while warm—it’s much easier than waiting.
