Begin by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Next, core and slice the apples into wedges, then add them on top of the sweet potatoes. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
Pour this honey-mustard mixture over the sweet potatoes and apples. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then nestle them on top of the mixture in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Once done, carefully remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding it with two forks.
Stir the sweet potatoes and apples in the slow cooker to combine them with the sauce. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix everything together.
Serve the honey-mustard chicken warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy this comforting dish with crusty bread or over a bed of rice.
