Quinoa and Honey Mustard Chicken Slow Cooker Meal

Chicken Breast - Meat and Poultry

This goes into the cooker quickly, with no precooking and chicken straight from the freezer. I like to put it in before we leave for church so I can come home to a nice meal. Serve with a green salad and some steamed veggies.
