Ingredients

Scale
  1. Honey Garlic Sauce:

    • 1/3 cup honey
    • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
    • 1/2 cup soy sauce, low sodium (see note)
    • 1/4 cup ketchup
    • 1 tsp dried oregano

    Crockpot Chicken and Vegetables:

    • 2 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
    • 1 pound baby red potatoes
    • 1 pound carrots, peeled
    • 1 cup onions, chopped
    • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
    • Fresh parsley, chopped, for serving (optional)
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

    Cornstarch Slurry (Optional):

    • 2 tsp cornstarch
    • 3 tsp water

Instructions

  • Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, oregano, and ketchup.
  • Assemble the Crockpot: Add the chicken thighs, baby red potatoes, carrots, and onions to a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
  • Add the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  • Cook: Cover and cook on the LOW setting for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 3-3.5 hours.
  • Add Green Beans: About 20 minutes before serving, add the green beans to the slow cooker. Optionally, add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce to thicken it.
  • Finish Cooking: Re-seal the lid and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the green beans are tender and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve: Remove the chicken and vegetables from the crockpot and serve on plates. For extra crispness, broil the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes to brown the skin. Drizzle sauce over the chicken and vegetables and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • You can adjust the cooking time depending on your slow cooker size and heat settings.
  • For extra flavor, broil the chicken thighs after slow cooking for a crispy skin.
  • You can substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs if preferred.
  • For a thicker sauce, use the cornstarch slurry, but it’s optional.
