Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with olive oil.
Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the maple mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and set them aside on a plate to rest for a few minutes.
Optional: Reduce the cooking liquid by transferring it to a small saucepan and simmering over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Serve as a sauce over the chicken.
Serve the maple chicken breasts warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
