Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Pulled Chicken is my new favorite recipe!  It’s a slow cooker recipe so get ready to set it, forget it, and have a yummy meal waiting for you.  I love honey mustard when paired with chicken, chicken tenders specifically, but shredded chicken slathered in a honey mustard sauce isn’t too bad either 😊 The chicken is tender and juicy and is paired with a perfect sweet and tangy sauce.  Serve as a sandwich, on top of a salad, over rice with veggies, on top of mashed potatoes with some steamed veggies, etc.  It can also be enjoyed as is.

Are you ever hosting a party or having a few guests over for dinner but don’t know what to serve?  I always struggle with what to cook because I want my guests to enjoy the meal but also want time to socialize and not be stuck in the kitchen.  Pulled chicken or pulled pork is always a good option.  You can prepare it in the slow cooker so it’s no fuss, it feeds a crowd, and is great to serve for a build-your-own-sandwich bar.  Or you can make it for yourself to enjoy for meals through the week or to freeze for later.
