Step-by-Step Instructions (Creamy, Savory, Foolproof)
1. Layer in Slow Cooker
Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
In a bowl, whisk honey, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth.
Pour mixture over chicken.
Scatter cream cheese cubes on top.
2. Cook Low & Slow
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours (or HIGH for 2–3 hours).
Chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) and be fork-tender.
3. Make the Sauce
Remove chicken; tent with foil.
Whisk sauce until smooth and creamy (it will thicken as it cools slightly).
Optional: Simmer uncovered on HIGH for 10–15 minutes to reduce and enrich.
4. Serve Warm
Slice or shred chicken; return to sauce or serve topped with it.
Spoon over your favorite base.
