- Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 8 hours.
- Note: if your slow cooker “runs hot” and has dried out meat in the past, you might want to add 1/2 to 1 cup of water or chicken stock to keep the inside of the slow cooker humid and prevent the meat from drying out.)
- Once cooked, use 2 forks to shred the chicken before serving on buns with slice of cheese.
- Serve Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Shredded Chicken Sandwiches with veggies.

To each gallon-size plastic freezer baggie, add the following ingredients:
- 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper
- Half of the prepared marinade into each bag
Remove as much air as possible and seal. Add label to baggie and freeze.
Freeze & Thaw Instructions
Put baggie in the freezer and freeze up to 6 months in fridge freezer or 12 months in a deep freezer. Thaw in the fridge overnight, or a warm bowl of water for about 20 minutes, before transferring to the slow cooker and cooking on low for 8 hours.
Reheating Instructions
Special notes
The chicken can also be cooked on the grill and served in large pieces instead of shredded for the sandwiches. The chicken could also be cooked in a saucepan or Dutch oven and then shredded. Cook for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Also, if you prefer darker meat, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs in place of the chicken breasts.
Dairy-Free Modifications
Omit the Provolone cheese.
Gluten-Free Modifications
Use gluten-free buns or large pieces of lettuce to make lettuce wrapped chicken sandwiches. You could also serve the shredded chicken over rice.
