If you don’t have mustard powder could you substitute it for mustard?
In most cases you can use 1 tablespoon of prepared mustard in place of 1 teaspoon dried mustard 🙂
Made this last night and was great. Used chicken breast so decreased time a little. Will be making it again
Love love love this. It was my first dinner I made in my sc and it’s still my favourite!
Delicious
Well finally l made it so yummy
Hi. I came across this recipe while I was looking for dump bags to do. Do I brown chicken and bacon then put in freezer with sauces? Or put in the bag raw with everything?
All into the bag raw when using it as a dump bag 🙂
Amazing! The chicken was tender, the sauce was delicious. Crowd favourite in my house, will absolutely cook again!
Can we cook this is 2 hours on high?
Low is ideal to prevent burning sauce/drying out chicken but you could try 🙂
Just prepared this for tomorrow ‘s dinner. Smells great. Just wondering though as it doesn’t seem like there’s much fluid. I like stuff saucy you know?
The chicken releases a lot of liquid as it cooks 🙂
Made this as a dump bag. Used yellow mustard instead of powder and omitted paprika because I’d run out lol. Very rich, went really well with rice. Kids gave it two thumbs up ?
Do you taste the mustard? I don’t like mustard, but I like the look of this, it looks yummy.
No I don’t think you do 🙂
This was the one of a dozen or so different slowcooker dump bags I made before the arrival of #3. It was amazing! Everybody gave it the thumbs up and fussy miss 5 even asked for seconds. I’ll be making this one again. I did end up thickening the sauce with a little cornflour but otherwise followed the recipe exactly.
Awesome! 😀
Yum! So much flavour, this was a hit with the whole family, will definitely become a regular in our household.
Really delicious! This has become a family favourite – even my fussy toddler loves it. I leave out the mustard as we don’t like it and I often double the BBQ and tomato sauces as we like a lot of sauce. I serve it with chips and coleslaw. This recipe also works cooking on high for 2.5 hours as I found out today when I forgot to put it on earlier (although I use diced chicken breast not thighs).
This sounds so yummy. Will be giving it a go.
Nothing left. including the slower….wiped clean. Will be a regular dish here
I was a little concerned abot the lack of liquid and time at first so watched it. 3.5hrs and wow what a delicious meal. Totally enjoyed by all!
Deliciously soft chicken in a yummy sauce a great combo with mash and veggies ?
What a stunning recipe. Such flavour!! Will absolutely do this many many times
Thanks Darren! 🙂
Absoloutly divine. Loved by children and adults alike. Will definitely make again
This is just divine. So so tasty. My fussy kids even like it
What is a “dump bag”

This was definitely a family favourite. Miss 12 found it in the recipe book and she loved it. The only change I made was instead of mustard powder I used American mustard. Whoever made this recipe thanks heaps. ?
That would be me – and you are most welcome 🙂
Was very yummy esp with mash & vege
Lovely, lovely, lovely. Served with the mash and steamed veg. Whole family gave a resounding 9/10, so I shall be making it again. Thank you Pauline!
do the thigh fillets go in whole or diced?
I cooked them whole 🙂
We love this recipe. We shred the chicken mix it with the sauce and eat it on wraps with cream cheese and salad. Awesome.
Delicious . I served it with mash and steamed veges. Would be nice with rice and greens too. Def making it again. FYI I did it as a dump bag recipe KISS
Was a smash hit in our household. Hubby made it and the only change he made was put a little bit of smokey bbq sauce in with the bbq sauce
Great recipe!! I even substituted lamb chops for the chicken (looked in the freezer and what I thought was chicken was actually lamb chops….. ). I added a bit of extra liquid and it was fabulous!
I hadn’t used my slow cooker in a long time.
I came across this recipe & it inspired me to get my slow cooker out again.
It didn’t disappoint it was absolutely delicious.
We had this last night with mashed potato & mixed veggies!! It was so good, this will definitely be a new favorite meal….?
Four stars because my teen son enjoyed this. I wasn’t a huge fan. That could be the bbq sauce I used or the tomato sauce. Next time I’ll try different ones. I’ll be making this again simply because he liked it so much.
