QUINOA AND HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN SLOW COOKER MEAL

Quinoa and Honey Mustard Chicken Slow Cooker Meal image

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.
