Our Crockpot Honey Mustard Chicken makes the best saucy sandwiches! The chicken and homemade honey mustard cook together in the slow cooker and then we shred it up and put it on sandwiches with bacon and swiss.
Saucy honey mustard chicken in the crockpot!
Honey Mustard Magic Ahead
Let me set the scene for you: It’s been a long day. Maybe even *gasp* a Monday. The kind of day where you just need something warm, comforting, and outrageously delicious to bring you back to life.
Enter: these Crockpot Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwiche, a.k.a. your new dinner MVP.
This slow cooker recipe combines minimal effort with maximum flavor.
You’ve got tender, shredded, saucy chicken that’s packing in the max flavor thanks to the sweet & tangy homemade honey mustard sauce.
You could serve this over rice or with a side of mashed potatoes, but we like to pile it on a toasty bun, slap on a piece of Swiss cheese, and layer on a few crispy bacon strips.
♥ 3 Reasons You’ll Love This Recipe:
- Dressing: Our easy homemade honey mustard dressing is sweet and tangy and just right for chicken sandwiches! In addition to flavor it also adds moisture. No dry chicken here.
- Ultimate Comfort Food: It’s like a warm hug, but in sandwich form.
- Crowd-Pleaser Alert: Perfect for family dinners, game day gatherings, or anytime you just want to impress someone with minimal effort
What Readers are Saying!
“Can I give this recipe more than 5 stars? I made it this afternoon for dinner, and it is DELICIOUS! A total keeper and I am going to make it again.” – Nicolette
“My son asks for this recipe at least once a week. We have it as a sandwich sometimes and often with rice or a baked or mashed potato for dinner. Oh! An so easy to make.” – Marga James
Ingredient Notes:
Chicken – We prefer boneless, skinless breasts here, but thighs will also work.
Honey Mustard Dressing – We’ve tested this recipe with both store bought honey mustard and our homemade honey mustard dressing. Either will work, but we’re definitely partial to the homemade version.
Bacon – We use bacon as a topping for the honey mustard chicken sandwiches. Try our easy air fryer bacon recipe!
Swiss Cheese – We love the nutty flavor of Swiss paired with the honey mustard. Any type of cheese you like should be fine here though.
Sandwich Rolls – I like a soft hamburger bun that has been buttered and toasted for these sandwiches.

Step by Step Photos:
Add the mayo, mustard, honey, vinegar, and pepper to a bowl and whisk to combine.
Place the chicken in the slow cooker and pour the honey mustard over the top. Cover and cook for about 4 hours.
When finished, shred the chicken with a couple of forks and spoon onto sandwich rolls with some bacon and cheese or your preferred toppings.
Helpful Tip!
Storage & Freezing Instructions:
If you’ve got leftover honey mustard chicken you can keep it stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator for about 4-5 days!
To freeze the chicken, you can add the honey mustard + chicken to a freezer bag and freeze it raw. Thaw overnight before adding to the slow cooker. Alternately, add the cooked and cooled shredded chicken to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
