Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

4 rosemary sprigs fresh
4 chicken thighs bone in, skinless chicken thighs
4 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon rosemary fresh, finely chopped

Instructions

Place one rosemary sprig under each chicken in the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, mustard, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary. Pour the mixture on the chicken, making sure that they are all coated.
Cover and set the slow cooker on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

Notes

Chicken breasts work great with this recipe. Reduce cooking time to 7 hours on low or 3 hours on high (one hour less) since they cook faster than thighs.

Instant Pot Directions

To set a timer on your cooking: first select pressure, input minutes* (according to which kind of thighs or breasts, fresh or frozen), and then press the Delay Start or Timer key. Use “+” and “-“ to set the delayed hours. Press Delay Start or Timer key again to change the minutes. The time you are setting is the delayed time before the program starts.

*For boneless thighs: pressure cook on high for 8 minutes for fresh or 12 minutes for frozen thighs. For bone-in thighs: pressure cook on high for 10 minutes for fresh, or 15 minutes for frozen thighs. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then turn the valve to “venting” to release any remaining steam.
