Pretty good! -
This was so much better than I expected! The chicken was as moist as I've ever made it. And oh so yummy. Not too sweet at all. I even made a gravy out of the pan drippings for my mashed potatoes and that was a great bonus (ok, the gravy was a bit sweet, but still delicious). Very easy to make too. Oh, I should say that I skipped the breading and just browned the chicken really well before putting it in the oven. Also, I used real quality maple syrup (I live in Quebec, so it's plentiful and cheap here). -
This chicken came out so moist and tasty!! My entire family loved it!! ( Didn't hurt that it had SYRUP in it!!) The breading has great flavor and the onions cook up so nice and mellow out- Thanks so much!! -
This is a wonderful and delicious recipe and very easy to make! Great flavor! The sweetness from the maple was very subtle, and the chicken was very moist. My family loved it and I will be making this again often. Thanks for sharing this recipe! -
This recipe produced a most lovely tender and moist chicken breast. I scaled it down to serve two, and it made more that enough for my mother and I. The maple syrup (even tho I used low sugar) made this a bit too sweet for my mother but I enjoyed it! I did not bother frying the chicken first, I just went right to the baking so I had less dishes to clean! I only had to bake it for about 35 minutes.... maybe because I used a meat mallet on my chicken before I cooked it. Great recipe!

I am a mother of three and live in central Pennsylvania. My children were very active in after school activities and found we weren't spending anytime together at meal time. In 1998, I decided to start cooking my dinners in a crockpot so that we could have a home cooked meal together once everyone came home. My children now get so excited to see what we are having to eat and love the smell when they walk in the door. My family calls me the crock pot queen. LOL I use my crock pot everyday of the year.

<br>My three children are now in college and before they come home they request their favorite meal. I still continue to cook in the crock pot for my husband and I. It is nice after a long day to know your meal is ready. It also helps in keeping my grocery bill down. With zaar, I can print my shopping list and that is all I purchase is the ingredients on that list.
<br>
<br>Now, my two daughters have been crock pot cooking while in college. They find it is easy to cook for the themselves and their friends. It is an easy way to have friends over for dinner after classes
<br>
<br>I still love trying new recipes and purchasing cookbooks, especially crock pot cookbooks.
<br>
<br>Happy Cooking!
