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
Directions
Step 1
Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with olive oil.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot in a single layer.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Pour the maple mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and set them aside on a plate to rest for a few minutes.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve the maple chicken breasts warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
