Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Coarse Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coarse Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, chicken broth, salt, and pepper.
Place the seared chicken thighs in the crock pot in an even layer. Top with the sautéed onion and garlic.
Pour the mustard sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Add the fresh thyme sprigs on top.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the thyme sprigs before serving. Serve the mustard chicken hot, with the sauce spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
