Ingredients
Scale
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.
