Dijon Chicken Slow Cooker Recipe

Another busy day, leads to another easy, delicious and low calorie crock pot recipe. This Dijon Chicken Slow Cooker Recipe is simple, yet very filling, and tasty. The mild chicken and potatoes complement the tangy Dijon mustard oh so perfectly. Each nicely sized serving is just 7 Points + each, and it goes great paired with a fresh green salad. If you cook this on high, you may need to add some additional broth to keep it moist. You could also add in some other fresh vegetables to bulk it up even more – I’d suggest peas or asparagus. This slow cooker recipe has such minimal prep, so it’s great for a day when you just don’t have the time or energy to cook. But the end result looks and tastes like you’ve been in the kitchen all day. This is definitely a perfect Weight Watchers Crock Pot recipe to add to your repertoire.

    Made this for dinner tonight, I used frozen chicken breasts and put it on high for 6 hours. It was WAY too lemony for my husband and son. My husband wouldn’t even finish it. :( Good basic idea though, just too much lemon. Would make again but cut the lemon WAY down (like, 1/2 of one lemon) and add lots of garlic and some thyme.

    Another great and easy recipe! It is very lemony. I guess I should have expected that with the juice of two lemons and all. he he. I made mine in a ceramic dutch oven in my oven on 250 for 4 hours. I also added a package of sliced mushrooms because I love them. My house smelled amazing while it cooked. The chicken came out nice and tender and prep was a piece of cake.

    So I am a health food junkie and I really love this blog. The recipes are awesome! But my family is not so much. It can be difficult to please them when I like to make meals with vegetables and healthy meats, but they would prefer a giant, fatty cheeseburger. This recipe was a definite exception though! It was flavorful and easy to make! I will definitely be making this for the family again soon!

    Okay, so I am a major health food junkie. Most of the time, my family thinks that the foods I eat couldn’t be more detestable. I am all about the fruits and vegetables, living with a family of carnivores! However, this recipe is one that I have to keep on hand. Everyone loved it!! It had really great flavor and it was really simple to make. I will definitley be making this one again soon!
