Honey Dijon Chicken Thighs

 

I hate cooking chicken.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind eating it.

I just hate touching it when it's raw.

or chopping it or really even looking at it.

This is really one of the main reasons 

I cook so much chicken in my slow cooker.

I dump it in there and don't have to touch it again 

until its ready to eat.

If you have been following along with me 

you know I was pregnant until recently

and now I need to be extra diligent

with my diet to try and get my waist back.

 

Mr. Jones and I are starting a new round of 

Beach Body 21 Day Fix and trying to get

back to a full on clean eating diet

(yes...we slipped up the past few weeks...)

So we have a menu and our meals planned

for the week. It includes lots of chicken

less carbs than my cravings would like

and lots of veggies.

Here is one of my new chicken recipes

for you to try:

Honey Dijon Chicken Thighs

(but you can totally do it with breast also, 

my grocery budget just preferred the thighs this month)

What you need:

1 pound chicken (thighs or breast)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Spicy brown mustard

1 Tbsp EVOO

1 Onion chopped

2 cloves of garlic minced 

Salt 

Black pepper

Thyme

Rosemary

 

In a small bowl mix together the oil

mustard and honey.

Add a generous sprinkle of Rosemary and Thyme.

 

Chop the onion and place 

the onion and garlic in the bottom of your slow cooker.

Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken and 

then place it on top of the onions

in your slow cooker.

Pour the sauce evenly over the top of the chicken.

 

Close it up,

Plug it in and

turn it on low 6-8 hours or until the 

temp of the thigh reaches 175 degrees.

Pull that yumminess out and serve 

We like ours over brown rice or 

alongside some quinoa or 

mashed cauliflower.

 

I hope your family digs this as much as mine does!
