Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, whole grain Dijon mustard, and 1/4 cup of water until smooth. Pour the sauce into the slow cooker, spreading evenly.

  3. Cover and let the chicken cook on low for 4 to 4.5 hours until tender and easily shredded.

  6. Once the chicken is shredded, layer honey mustard chicken on the bottom half of soft rolls. Top with slaw and place the top roll on.
