Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a slight kick)
1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for thickening, optional)
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
- Lightly grease the crockpot and place the chicken inside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Pour the sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2.5-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with water and stir it into the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Once done, shred the chicken or serve whole, spooning extra sauce over the top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite side dishes.
