Description

These Easy & Delicious Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Shredded Chicken Sandwiches feature tender, juicy chicken cooked low and slow in a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce. Perfect for a hands-off meal, the shredded chicken pairs beautifully with sandwich buns and optional fresh toppings like pickles, lettuce, and coleslaw, making a quick and satisfying lunch or dinner option.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 lbs (900g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup (160g) honey
  • 1/3 cup (100g) Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sandwich Assembly

  • 4–6 sandwich buns or rolls
  • Optional toppings: sliced pickles, lettuce, tomato, red onion, or coleslaw

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined and smooth to create the flavorful honey mustard sauce.
  2. Add Chicken to Slow Cooker: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker in an even layer, then pour the prepared honey mustard sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring it is coated well for maximum flavor infusion.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW setting for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH setting for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken becomes tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them thoroughly using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker and stir it into the remaining sauce to coat it evenly and keep it moist.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon the tender honey mustard shredded chicken onto sandwich buns or rolls. Add your choice of optional toppings such as sliced pickles, lettuce, tomato, red onion, or coleslaw to enhance texture and flavor.
  6. Serve: Serve the sandwiches immediately while warm, and enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal packed with sweet, tangy, and savory notes.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider topping the sandwiches with coleslaw, which adds a nice crunch and creaminess.
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a slightly juicier texture.
  • If you prefer a stronger mustard flavor, add an extra tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the sauce.
  • Leftover shredded chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with a side of chips or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
