A heartwarming one-pot meal featuring succulent chicken thighs, vibrant vegetables, and a rich honey garlic sauce, perfect for family gatherings.
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 garnish)
- 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
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ketchup, minced garlic, dried basil, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and ground black pepper until the mixture is well combined.
- Layer the chicken thighs in your slow cooker followed by the halved baby red potatoes and baby carrots.
- Pour the prepared sauce generously over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring that everything is well coated. Gently toss to blend all flavors together.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on Low for 7-8 hours or High for 3-4 hours, basting the chicken with the sauce every hour for enhanced flavor and juiciness.
- About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, add the trimmed green beans on top to allow them to steam in the savory sauce.
- Optional: To achieve a crispy chicken skin, preheat your oven to broil. Carefully move the chicken thighs, skin side up, to a baking sheet and broil for 3-4 minutes until they turn golden and crispy.
- Serve the luscious honey garlic chicken and veggies hot, spooning the delectable sauce generously over the dish, and finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color.
