Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Toppings and Assembly
- 6 slices bacon (fried crisp)
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 6 sandwich rolls (buttered and toasted, if desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken in the slow cooker: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring they lay flat for even cooking.
- Make the honey mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, honey, vinegar, and ground black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Coat the chicken: Pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, spreading it evenly to cover all the chicken for maximum flavor infusion.
- Cook low and slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for 4 hours. The chicken is ready when it easily shreds apart using two forks.
- Shred the chicken: Once cooked through, use two forks to shred the chicken in the slow cooker. Stir the shredded chicken well to coat it thoroughly with the honey mustard sauce.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spoon the shredded honey mustard chicken onto the sandwich rolls. Top each with a slice of Swiss cheese and two slices of crispy fried bacon. Serve immediately while hot, allowing the cheese to melt slightly from the warm chicken.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can toast the sandwich rolls and butter them lightly before assembly.
- If you prefer a tangier sauce, increase the amount of vinegar to 1.5 tablespoons.
- Cook bacon ahead of time and keep it warm or reheat briefly before assembling sandwiches.
- This dish is excellent served with a side of coleslaw or kettle-cooked chips for a complete meal.
