Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken and Veggies

Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 8 hrs | Total Time: 8 hrs 15 min | Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the chicken and vegetables:

  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 450 g baby red potatoes, halved
  • 450 g baby carrots
  • 450 g green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

For the sauce:

  • 120 ml reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 120 ml honey
  • 60 ml ketchup
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Instruction

  1. In a large bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, ketchup, garlic, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
  2. Place the chicken thighs, potatoes, and carrots in a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the top.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, basting the chicken occasionally with the sauce.
  4. During the last 30 minutes, add the green beans and continue cooking until tender.
  5. (Optional) To crisp the chicken skin, preheat the oven to broil. Transfer chicken thighs to a baking sheet, skin side up, and broil for 3–4 minutes, until golden and slightly crisp.
  6. Serve immediately with potatoes, carrots, and green beans. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Pro Tips

  • For a lighter dish, replace thighs with boneless, skinless chicken breasts (adjust cooking time to prevent overcooking).
  • Add mushrooms or pearl onions for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
