Description

Juicy chicken thighs slow-simmer in a tangy blend of Dijon and whole grain mustard, garlic, and thyme, creating a luxuriously creamy sauce that elevates every forkful.


Ingredients

  • 800 g boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 240 ml chicken broth
  • 120 ml heavy cream
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. If desired, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side.
  2. Transfer chicken to the slow cooker.
  3. Slice the onion and mince the garlic.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté onion until translucent, then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
  5. Stir Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, chicken broth, heavy cream, dried thyme, salt, and pepper into the skillet mixture until well combined.
  6. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  8. Before serving, stir the sauce, taste for seasoning, and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  9. Serve hot with sauce spooned over the chicken.

Notes

  • Use chicken breasts instead of thighs for a leaner option.
  • Add chopped fresh parsley for garnish and extra flavor.
  • Ensure not to overcook to keep the chicken tender.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
