Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Begin by lightly seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot and pour the tangy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken.
Set the crock pot to the low heat setting and cook for 4 to 5 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is done, carefully remove it from the crock pot and set aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Pour this mixture into the sauce remaining in the crock pot and stir well.
Turn the crock pot to the high heat setting and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Return the cooked chicken to the crock pot and coat with the thickened sauce.
Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or with your favorite side dishes.
