Ingredients & Subs
Holland House White Cooking Wine — The flavor of the Holland House White Cooking Wine pairs so nicely with the notes of dijon, dill, capers, and gruyere in this dish!
Dijon mustard — I’ve made this with a combination of creamy dijon and whole grain mustard and it’s so good!
White onion — 2 shallots in place would be fab.
garlic
Chicken thighs — You can use bone-in or boneless. If you choose to get the skin on, I would sear in a pan before adding to the Crock-Pot to render off some of the fat first.
Capers — You can omit them if you like but they add such a nice tangy bite!
Butter — Salted or unsalted is fine!
Gruyere cheese — Try grated Parmesan.
Dill — Fresh tarragon is so amazing in this as well!
mashed potatoes or rice, for serving
How to Make
In the bowl of your Crock-Pot, combine the Holland House White Cooking Wine, cream, dijon mustard, onion, garlic, and salt and pepper.
Season the chicken with additional salt and pepper.
Add the chicken to the slow cooker along with the butter capers and butter.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the Gruyere and dill, gently tossing to combine. Remove the onion quarters and discard.
Serve the chicken over mashed potatoes or rice and spoon the creamy mustard sauce over top the chicken. Serve with additional dill and Gruyere.
How to store
This Slow Cooker Chicken Dijon can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 6 months.

This is worth trying, folks! I was a little uncertain at first about the unfamiliar flavors of capers, dill & gruyere but took the plunge anyhow. Glad I did. I have to be cautious about dairy, so I subbed 1/2 & 1/2 with broth for the heavy cream; also, we had bone-in thighs instead of boneless. Quite delish served over barley with lots of juice, too!
