Maple Glazed Chicken Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient. This easy slow cooker chicken with maple topping needs just 3 items. It feels like a special meal but works great for quick busy nights.
Juicy chicken gets a yummy, shiny cover from sweet maple syrup and tangy mustard that turns thick and gooey as it cooks slow. Toss it all in, step away, and come back to warm, home-cooked dinner with no work.
Scoop it straight from the cooker with more sauce on top. Pair it with rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles to grab all the tasty sauce.
For something green, try beans, skinny asparagus, or a side salad. Save extras for sandwiches or over lettuce.

Maple Glazed Chicken Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient
Ingredients
-
2 pounds of chicken breasts with no bones or skin (about 4 pieces)
-
1 cup real maple syrup
-
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Maple Glazed Chicken: Directions
-
Give your 4- to 6-quart slow cooker a quick spray of nonstick stuff. It keeps things from sticking for easy clean-up.
-
Lay the chicken flat in one layer at the bottom. A tiny overlap is okay, but keep it even so it cooks nice and gets good sauce.
-
In a little bowl, stir the maple syrup and Dijon mustard until it’s all mixed smooth.
-
Pour it evenly over the chicken. Make sure every bit gets covered. Don’t mix or shift the chicken—let the sauce stay on top.
-
Put the lid on tight. Cook on LOW for 4-5 hours until the chicken’s inside hits 165°F. Skip opening the lid to trap heat and make sauce thick.
-
Lift the lid. Spoon the gooey sauce from the bottom over the chicken. It should look shiny with sticky, caramel-y bits.
-
Want thicker sauce? Move chicken to a plate and cover with foil. Switch cooker to HIGH with lid off. Let it bubble 10-15 minutes, stirring sometimes. Add chicken back and spoon on sauce.
-
Serve it hot with plenty of that sticky glaze.
