{Gluten and Dairy Free} Crockpot Honey Mustard Chicken

Lauren's Latest has this great make ahead recipe for chicken in the crockpot. You can double this, throw one in the freezer and then next time dinner is a snap!   Another idea is to do a swap with a friend. You make one for you, one for them and they do the same of another dish. I made it dairy free in the parenthesis.
