Notes
Storage:
I prefer to keep any leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge, where they should stay fresh for up to 4 days. You can also use a zip top bag or cover a plate tightly with plastic wrap.
Since this is a slow cooker meal, it's easy to make it in advance. You can cook it overnight or even all day on the busiest of weekdays. Dinner will be flavorful and ready to serve with ease thanks to this simple method.
Tips:
- Swap the chicken breasts for boneless, skinless thighs. If you like dark meat better, no worries, you can easily use thighs, just note that the cook time will be much shorter.
- You can use yellow mustard instead of Dijon. If yellow is your preference, it's also delicious in this chicken.
- If you find your sauce is too thin, simply mix together 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of water and mix it into the chicken mixture.
- Add some veggies. You can stir in your favorite leafy green like spinach or baby kale if you want to serve this on it's own with a side dish.
