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.
Delicious and easy recipe. We have made it as a dump bag both times – so no browning and still great.
We used breast fillets and cooked for 4-5 hours on low. Definitely recommend using a nice BBQ sauce – ours was a smoky hickory bourbon style.
This is super yummy and easy to do in my Greenpan searing slow cooker. This one will be made again for sure.
cooked this last night, didn’t add the sugar but next time I definitely will. it does need the small amount of sugar. very delicious though.
Thanks for leaving your feedback Tanya 🙂
was a winner With my family have put in make again file thanks for sharing
That’s awesome – thanks Cyn!!
Great family recipe using pantry staples. I used drumsticks and served with mash and veg.
Love that feedback – thanks Yvette!
