Equipment

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
½ cup low sodium chicken broth
¼ cup honey
⅓ cup yellow mustard
⅓ cup Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic minced
1¼ cup sour cream

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, honey, mustards, onion powder, black pepper, and garlic. Mix until well combined.
Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Then, pour honey mustard sauce over the top.
Cover and cook on high for 2½-3½ hours on low or low for 4-5 hours.
Remove the chicken and shred with two forks. Add the sour cream to the sauce and mix until well combined. Then, add the shredded chicken back into the sauce and toss until coated.
Serve over rice, mashed potatoes or in a sandwich bun and enjoy!

Notes

If you use heavy cream, be sure to add it at the end, after the chicken is finished cooking. Cream curdles when cooked at temperatures or for too long, so adding it last helps avoid that issue.
Use a stand mixer to shred the chicken. Place the cooked chicken in the mixer on low speed for less than 60 seconds for perfectly shredded chicken instead of doing it by hand with forks.
If your sauce is too thin, add a few tablespoons of cornstarch or potato starch to the honey mustard sauce to thicken it.
Don’t overcook the chicken or it will turn dry. If you feel like your chicken is on the drier side, shred it and mix the shredded pieces back into the sauce. Coat each piece so it’s juicy and full of flavor.
