Seasoning the Chicken: Generously season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
Browning the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side. Once browned, transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
Preparing the Sauce Base: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the pan.
Adding Mustard: Stir in whole grain mustard and Dijon mustard, then pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Slow Cooking: Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Creamy Finish: As the cooking time nears completion, whisk together heavy cream and sour cream in a small bowl. Pour this creamy mixture into the slow cooker, stirring gently to combine.
Infusing Flavor: Add chopped thyme and allow the dish to cook for an additional 20-30 minutes until the sauce is creamy and heated through.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley as a garnish before serving. Pair with your favorite sides and enjoy!
