Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken and Veggies: The Best Easy Recipe


  • Author: Veronica Taylor
  • Total Time: 8 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

The easiest one-pot slow cooker recipe ever. Simply throw everything in—chicken, veggies, and a sweet-savory honey garlic sauce—and let it cook to tender perfection with zero fuss.


Ingredients

Scale

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

16 ounces baby red potatoes, halved

16 ounces baby carrots

16 ounces green beans, trimmed

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

For the Sauce:

½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce

½ cup honey

¼ cup ketchup

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper


Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, ketchup, garlic, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.

2. Place chicken thighs, potatoes, carrots, and sauce mixture into a 6-quart slow cooker.

3. Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, basting every hour.

4. Add green beans during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.

5. OPTIONAL: Preheat oven to broil. Place chicken thighs on a baking sheet, skin side up, and broil until crisp, about 3–4 minutes.

6. Serve chicken with potatoes, carrots, and green beans. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

Use boneless thighs or chicken breasts if preferred, but reduce cooking time slightly.

For crispier skin, don’t skip the broiling step at the end.

Add a splash of fresh lemon juice or extra honey before serving for brightness.

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
