Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Coarse Dijon mustard
• 0.25 cup Whole grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté the onion until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the coarse Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, chicken broth, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

Place the seared chicken thighs in the crock pot in an even layer. Top with the sautéed onion and garlic.

Step 6

Pour the mustard sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Add the fresh thyme sprigs on top.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).

Step 8

Remove the thyme sprigs before serving. Serve the mustard chicken hot, with the sauce spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
