What Makes This Recipe So Good
This dish combines the sharp tang of Dijon mustard with the rich sweetness of maple syrup. The flavors balance perfectly, creating a deliciously sticky glaze. It’s easy to prepare and makes a satisfying meal any night of the week.
Directions
Place the chicken breasts in your slow cooker. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, chopped onion, lemon juice, maple syrup, olive oil, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rosemary until everything is well combined. Pour this flavorful mixture over the chicken, making sure the sauce covers the pieces evenly. Cover and cook on high for about 1 to 2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. Once done, give everything a gentle stir to coat the chicken in the sauce before serving.
