Notes

The nutrition is based off of two thighs per serving. Know that the calories are high because it includes all the sauce. You will not actually eat all the sauce though.
I use powdered bone broth the most to make this recipe. It’s easy, flavorful and always on hand.
Both boneless chicken thighs and bone-in, skin on thighs work for this recipe. If you choose one with the skin on, know that if you don’t stir the thighs at all while cooking, the top skin will be a sticky, crunchy, yum.
There is a lot of liquid that comes off of thighs when you cook them, if you want your sauce to not be as watery, for the last half an hour, pop the slow cooker on high and crack the lid to let some moisture out.
This recipe was made in a 7-quart slow cooker. Cooking times may vary slightly.
I haven’t yet tried the slow cooker honey mustard chicken with chicken breasts. I have no doubt chicken breasts will work but I can’t promise on cooking times.
