Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.25 cups dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons ground thyme
• 0.5 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with half of the salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the dijon mustard, honey, paprika, and ground thyme.

Step 5

In the crock pot, add the chicken broth and stir in the dijon mustard mixture.

Step 6

Place the seared chicken breasts in the crock pot, making sure they are fully coated with the sauce. Add the sautéd garlic on top.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low for 4 hours (or on high for 2 hours).

Step 8

Fifteen minutes before the cooking time is done, whisk together the heavy cream and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Add this mixture to the crock pot and stir gently.

Step 9

Let the chicken cook for the remaining time until the sauce thickens.

Step 10

Once done, taste and adjust seasoning with the remaining salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve the chicken topped with the chopped parsley alongside rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
