Description
A comforting and easy slow cooker meal featuring tender chicken, baby potatoes, carrots, and green beans coated in a rich honey garlic sauce.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
3 cups baby carrots
3 cups baby potatoes (halved if large)
1 cup green beans, trimmed
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- Place the baby carrots and baby potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place it on top of the vegetables.
- In a bowl, whisk together garlic, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, and thyme.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Add green beans during the last hour of cooking for best texture.
- If a thicker sauce is desired, stir in the cornstarch slurry 30 minutes before serving and continue cooking until thickened.
- Serve warm over rice or noodles, or enjoy as is.
Notes
Swap baby potatoes for sweet potatoes for a sweeter flavor variation.
Add bell peppers or snap peas during the last hour for extra color and crunch.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
