How to Make Honey Mustard Chicken in Crock Pot

Serving Suggestions

Our favorite way to eat this chicken is over Instant pot White Rice Recipe and with a side of Oven Roasted Asparagus. The asparagus is so easy to make and only takes a few minutes while you are broiling the chicken. We even serve with Homemade Mashed Potatoes.

I drizzle more sauce over the chicken, rice and asparagus. It is so good and you will just want to gobble up every last drop of that sauce. I could eat this sauce by the spoonful so I always pour extra over my rice.
