Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cups Pecans, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or a thin coating of butter.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Place them in the crock pot in a single layer.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, butter, and minced garlic.
Cook and stir the sauce mixture until the brown sugar dissolves and the ingredients are well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the ground cinnamon and chopped pecans. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the praline glaze evenly over the chicken breasts in the crock pot.
Add the chicken broth to the bottom of the crock pot to help prevent the chicken from drying out during cooking.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Optional: About 15 minutes before the cooking time is up, baste the chicken with the glaze to ensure it's fully coated and flavorful.
Once done, serve the praline chicken with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
