Recipe Tips

  • The chicken breasts can be replaced with a different cut of chicken, such as chicken thighs.
  • Wholegrain mustard is a suitable replacement for the Dijon mustard.
  • To cook this dish faster, switch the slow cooker to high and reduce the cooking time by half.
  • I recommend using oregano, but other herbs will also work nicely in this dish. For example, tarragon is an excellent match for a creamy sauce.
