Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes
You are going to love this simple to prepare Slow Cooker Dijon Chicken dinner! It’s so hard for me to show you in pictures how amazing this dinner was and how flavorful it turned out. The broth and chicken over rice was so delicious. We ate the leftovers for days! My boys picked around the green beans, but really enjoyed the chicken and potatoes. Break out the crock pots again friends, this recipe makes a wonderful Sunday dinner!

How To Make Dijon Chicken
- Turn crock pot to the low setting. Place chicken breasts, potatoes, garlic, lemon, green beans, chicken broth, pearl onions, salt, and pepper into crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or you can choose to cook on high for 3-4 hours. Remove lemon slices and chicken breasts. Discard lemon slices. Shred chicken and place back into crock pot. Stir in honey and Dijon then add parsley and thyme, stirring to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve over rice or by itself.
The fresh parsley and thyme give such freshness.

Dennis, you couldn’t be more on point. First of all what kind of recipe calls for leaving in lemon peels? I made this and realized it at the last moment after having mixed everything together and all I could taste was bitter lemon peel. A quarter cup of thyme AND a quarter cup of parsley AND honey mustard?!! This recipe may have LOOKED good but it tasted absolutely disgusting. What a waste of good and fresh ingredients.
First of all I suggest the author of this website try this recipe before they publish it. I’m an author and I’d be embarrassed to put my name on this. For those of you who read the recipe and said it sounded good, it is not. And for those of you who tried it and said it was wonderful, I want to know what you are smoking. Please tell me this; who in the world thinks 10 cloves of garlic is good in a recipe? We try a lot of nonfat and low-fat recipes because of my gall bladder and this has to be the worst dinner we have ever made. It was sour, runny and a true waste of good chicken. I would definitely pass on this and go for the fresh fruit!!! This is totally not something to make for the Picky Palate.
So only 2 breasts? Is there an idea of height in total?
I made this for my husband, and he liked it!! I have made several of your recipes and he always likes what I make!! I even have your cookbook!! You are savior when it comes to dinner!! Thanks!!
I made this yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. I’m not really a fan of Dijon mustard or green beans,but I still liked it (and didn’t even have to pock around the green beans) and my husband LOVED it! I cut the recipe in half for the two of us and we still have leftovers to freeze. I served it over rice…definitely coking again!
It’s all in my crockpot cooking on this snowstorm day….tomorrow the crockpot will have your beef and barley soup cooking….
Can’t wait to taste!!
Hi Jenny, recipe does look really good. Just wanted to let you know that I saw & purchased your book…in Victoria, BC Canada.
Slow cooker recipes are the best! Another perfect one Jenny! 🙂

Nic,
I just moved to Vienna, Austria and had to have a slow cooker. I ran into the same problem too, so I ordered it off of UK Amazon’s website. This is the one that I got http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crock-Pot-Cooker-Limited-Edition-Aubergine/dp/B0045YO74W/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1363361507&sr=8-7
Hope that helps 🙂
I just made crock-pot chicken for dinner today! This recipe will have to go on my “to try soon” list…one pot meals, greatest idea ever.
Chicken is so perfect in the slow cooker and with these add ins, I bet it was phenomenal!
This looks SO tasty, Jenny! I love that you popped the potatoes right in there. Great one-pot meal!
Oh this looks heavenly! I am expanding my “slow cooker recipe repertoire” and this is going on the top of my list! Thanks a bunch. Freshly Pinned!
love me some slow cooker chicken!!
This really does look perfect for Sunday dinner. Love it, Jenny!
Do you keep the garlic cloves in the dish or do you remove them when you shred the chicken?
Do you just leave the lemon slices in there? Don’t the peels get in the way?
Great slow cooker recipe!
Oh yes please!!! Bring on some of this chicken for dinner 🙂
This looks so delicious!! I need to make this! 🙂 Pinned for later!
Love everything about this dish, especially the fact that it can be made in a slow cooker!
This looks amazing! I’m going to try it today. Can I use regular onions stead of the pearl onions or is there another substitute?
This looks great Jenny. I’d love to feature this on my slow cooker blog, can you let me know if that’s ok?
You bet Kalyn. Thanks 🙂
Great weeknight meal! Crock pots rule.
I agree Naomi!!
Oooo, I love one-pot dinners like this. Looks so good!
This looks and sounds so amazing! Not to mention I love how it’s ‘hands-free’ after the initial preparation!
