Begin by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder until well combined.
Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the bottom of your crock pot. Pour the maple mustard mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Chop 2 medium carrots, 1 medium parsnip, and 1 medium sweet potato into bite-sized pieces. Add the chopped vegetables to the crock pot, surrounding the chicken.
Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme for added flavor.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Once cooked, check that the chicken is tender and the vegetables are fork-tender. Serve the chicken and vegetables on a platter, drizzling any remaining sauce from the crock pot over the top for extra flavor.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
