2. In a small bowl, mix apricot preserves and Dijon mustard. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
3. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Why It Works

• The sweet apricot pairs beautifully with the tangy mustard, creating a glaze that coats the chicken.
• Slow cooking ensures the meat is juicy and tender, while the sauce thickens naturally.

✅ Tip: For extra flavor, add a splash of soy sauce or garlic powder to the mixture—optional but delicious.

If you want, I can also give a 5-ingredient variation that makes the sauce extra sticky and irresistible.
