Equipment

slow cooker (crock pot)

Ingredients

1 tbs butter
1 tbs sweet paprika
800 g skinless chicken thigh fillets approx 6-8 thighs
2 tablespoon cornflour
180 ml (¾ cup) chicken stock liquid
2 teaspoon mustard powder
2 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoon honey heaped
120 g (¾ cup) frozen peas
110 ml (½ cup) cream
fresh parsley to serve

Instructions

Heat the butter in a frying pan (or in the bowl of a searing slow cooker) over high heat.
Sprinkle the paprika over the chicken thighs to coat.
Cook the chicken on either side until well browned (the chicken will still be raw in the centre).
Place the chicken thigh fillets into the base of a slow cooker (crockpot).
In a bowl, mix together the cornflour and the liquid chicken stock until dissolved. Add the dry mustard powder, wholegrain mustard, dijon mustard and honey. Mix until combined.
Pour the sauce over the chicken thighs and turn to coat.
Cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours.
Note: If possible, turn the chicken thighs over partway through cooking.
With 10 minutes remaining, stir through the cream and the peas.
Serve with fresh parsley (optional).

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Ingredients Info:

Skinless chicken thigh fillets – or substitute with chicken drumsticks or chicken breasts. Chicken thigh fillets or drumsticks are the best option as they will be more tender and the meat will quite literally ‘fall-apart’ when cooked. You can increase the amount of chicken up to 1kg if you like.

More Recipe Tips:

Turning the chicken - if you have time, turning the chicken thighs over half way through the cooking time will ensure beautifully tender chicken.
Doubling - this recipe can easily be doubled.
Storing - store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
Freezing - this honey mustard chicken will freeze for up to 3 months.
