Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lb chicken breast (about 4, 6 oz. pieces; chicken thighs will work)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ c honey
- ¼ c dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp butter (melted)
- 2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
- ¼ c heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch (optional)
- 4 Tbsp cold water (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat your chicken dry with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle the salt, pepper, oregano, onion powder, and paprika over the chicken, covering it well.
- In a bowl, whisk the honey, dijon mustard, garlic, and melted butter together until smooth.
- Pour this mixture over the chicken, making sure to cover it as much as possible.
Cooking
- Close the lid and cook on LOW heat for about 3 hours or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. It's a good idea to check at 2 hours if you can.
- Once the chicken is cooked, you can pull it apart in large chunks or shred it completely.
- About 30 minutes before serving, add the heavy cream and stir it into the sauce.
- To thicken the sauce, mix the cold water and cornstarch together until smooth. Stir it into the sauce and let it heat at the warm or low setting for about 30 minutes.
- Once you reach your desired thickness, it’s ready to serve!
Notes
