Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on the low setting for 4-5 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Optional step: Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it with two forks, then return it to the crockpot and stir to coat it in the sauce.
Serve the maple barbecue chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or on sandwich buns. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
