Instructions
Creating Irresistible Slow Cooker Chicken is a simple process. Just follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the slow cooker with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, thyme, paprika, and black pepper.
3. Add the Vegetables: Place the diced onions and bell peppers at the bottom of the slow cooker.
4. Add the Chicken: Lay the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
5. Pour the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.
6. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
7. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
8. Thicken the Sauce (optional): If desired, mix cornstarch with a little cold water to create a slurry, then stir it into the sauce in the slow cooker. Cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes until thickened.
9. Return the Chicken: Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, mixing it with the sauce.
10. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
