Slow Cooker Recipe
Good Food at Church
The church we go to likes food and eating together a lot. During January, February, and March, we always have a Bread and Soup Meal one Sunday a month. Each time, we’re assigned, according to our last names, to bring either bread (last names from A-G), fresh fruit (from H-M), or the soup of the month (N-Z). Assignments rotate each month.
Then we meet in the fellowship hall right after services, for an hour or so, over the simple meal. We sit with people we may not talk to regularly, eat enough, then wash our own dishes (we try not to use disposables unless we’re in a real jam), and head home. We haven’t sacrificed football games (Merle) or reading time (me). And everyone’s had a cooking break.
We do Wednesday pancake suppers during the winter months, too. Each time we have three different flavors with wildly assorted toppings. It’s a come-and-go-as-you-like affair. Some people come straight from work. Others scoop up their kids and head over.
Our church has another food event every Monday night. We’re smack in the middle of our small city, and on Monday nights, a homemade meal is served in our fellowship hall. Nearby churches take turns preparing and serving the food for 120-200 guests who come from within walking distance. One of the regulars who attends calls it her “Monday night family.”
Twice a year our Sunday school class makes the food and serves it. We took our turn last week and dished out great spoonfuls of Honey Baked Chicken over rice. People loved it!
The friend who was serving beside me said, “My kids have always loved this dish! How did I forget about this recipe?!”
Rip out your slow cooker—and within 15 minutes, you’ll have a flavorful meal underway. And remember, it’s great for guests, too. We went home last Monday without a trace of Honey Baked Chicken left. And we had made tons!

Do you use a yellow mustard or dijon mustard?
Is it boneless thighs. Sounds good
I tried this recipe last night. The thighs were very juicy but there wasn’t much flavor to them.
I made this last night after reading this post yesterday around lunchtime! I used 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, honey, Zatarans dijon mustard, salt free cajun seasoning called The Stuff (from a company out of Walker, LA), and vegan butter called Earth Balance (I know this is odd, but it really makes for a richer result than using margarine in some recipes). Baked in a 350 degree oven about 30 mins…..came out amazing!! hubby requested I make it again tonight! I am out of honey so I am going to try the same recipe but use Log Cabin pancake syrup instead and see how that comes out. I have made a maple vinegarette dressing before which calls for maple syrup (I used the Log Cabin brand) and dijon mustard and it was really good.
