Olive oil is a staple in our house. I literally buy it in giant bottles from Costco, and I still seem to buy it way more often than I think is reasonable. But, honestly, that’s because I use it in so many dishes. I saute veggies on the reg, and I like to saute them in nothing buy a tablespoon or two of high-quality olive oil and a little sea salt. Yum! 

And when I cook, olive oil is an ingredient in so many dishes – especially because I make a lot of Italian! Olive oil is a staple in my homemade French dressing, and it’s one of two main ingredients in the vinaigrette for this pasta salad.

Slow Cooker Chicken with Balsamic Mustard Sauce – the Ingredients

Here’s your quick-view grocery list:

• European olive oil
• Veggies: at least mushrooms and bell pepper, but add some carrots and zucchini, too! 
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (these are fattier and more flavorful than chicken breast)
• tomato sauce
• dijon mustard and spicy brown mustard
• brown sugar

This is a really healthy recipe; look at all those heart-healthy ingredients!

Making the Slow Cooker Chicken with Balsamic Mustard Sauce

Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of your slow cooker. Lay the boneless, skinless chicken thighs on top of the oil.

Dice your carrots, mushrooms, bell peppers and zucchini. Toss all the chopped veggies on top of the chicken thighs in the slow cooker.

In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, dijon mustard, spicy brown mustard and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth, then pour over the chicken and vegetables.

Place the lid on your slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 hours (or 2 hours on high) until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Serving the Slow Cooker Chicken with Balsamic Mustard Sauce

Cook some brown rice or quinoa.

When the chicken is cooked through, use a large spoon to gently stir and coat the chicken and veggies with sauce.

Spoon chicken veggies with balsamic mustard sauce over servings of rice or quinoa. Give each plate a quick drizzle of olive oil before serving.
