Ingredients
-
2 pounds chicken breasts without skin or bone
-
1 cup honey
-
1/2 cup butter without salt, cut into thin pieces
Honey Butter Chicken: Directions
-
Rub a little butter inside a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker so nothing sticks and sauce flows easy.
-
Put chicken breasts flat on the bottom in one layer. They can touch each other, but don’t stack them, so they cook evenly.
-
Pour honey all over the chicken so every bit gets sweet taste while it cooks.
-
Place butter slices on top of the honey chicken. Spread them out so they melt and make shiny sauce.
-
Put on the lid. Cook on LOW for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours until chicken is done, soft, and hits 165°F inside. Don’t peek early to keep heat in.
-
Take off lid. Let chicken sit 5 minutes so juices calm and sauce gets thicker.
-
Spoon honey butter from sides over chicken for extra shine.
-
Serve right from pot with lots of sauce on top. Slice or pull apart chicken in sauce if you like, then mix it back in.
Serve over soft mashed potatoes, noodles with butter, or rice to grab all the sauce. Add green beans, carrots, or salad on side. Try warm rolls to dip in extra sauce for that homey feel.
