Mustard Chicken Brown Sugar In Slow Cooker

Mustard Chicken Brown Sugar In Slow Cooker. This sweet and tangy secret was given to me by my grandmother. Only 4 ingredients of a feast March dinner everybody will devour…

Servings: 6

Ingredients

2 1/2 to 3 pounds skinless and boneless chicken breasts.
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup whole grain mustard (with visible mustard seeds)
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Mustard Chicken Brown Sugar: Directions

Spray the inside of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray or grease it with a little oil to make it easier to clean it.
Put the chicken breasts in one layer at the bottom of the slow cooker. When they are quite thick it is possible to cut them in half lengthways to ensure that they cook more evenly and can be shredded more easily.
Add the brown sugar, whole grain mustard, and chicken broth in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly with smooth mixture. It must be heavy and liquefied, and mustard seeds sprinkled all about.
Spread the brown sugar mixture of mustard evenly over the chicken, and turn the pieces once with a spoon or tongs to ensure that they are covered thoroughly on all sides. Put the chicken back in one layer, ensuring that some of the sauce is at the bottom and at the sides.
Cook the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW 4 to 5 hours, or on HIGH about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is very tender and can easily be pulled apart using a fork. The sauce will appear dark amber and somewhat sticky in the edges with caramelised juices bubbling.
After cooking chicken, take the two forks and loosely shred or pull the chicken breasts in large bite size pieces in the slow cooker and mix the chicken breasts in the sauce so that all the strands are covered by the sweet and tangy glaze.
Taste the sauce and make adjustments as necessary, adding a splash of broth in case you want it looser or allowing it to cook uncovered on HIGH between 10 and 15 minutes in case you want it a bit stiffer and stickier.
Ladle the slow cooker contents of pull-apart brown sugar mustard chicken onto serving dishes and pour additional dark amber glaze and pan juices over each plate of chicken.
