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 the slow cooker and cook on high for about 1 to 2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Once done, give it a gentle stir to coat the chicken in the sauce before serving.
Best Serving Ideas
Serve this chicken alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad. It also pairs well with creamy mashed potatoes or a simple rice pilaf to soak up the delicious sauce.
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
