Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil or oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup green beans
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch optional, for thickening
  • 2 tablespoons water optional, for thickening

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Arrange the carrots, bell pepper, broccoli, and green beans evenly over the chicken.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, basil, and black pepper.
  4. Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  6. If a thicker sauce is desired, mix cornstarch and water, stir it into the slow cooker, and cook an additional 20 minutes on HIGH.
  7. Spoon sauce over the chicken and vegetables before serving.

Notes

Chicken thighs provide extra moisture, while breasts keep the dish leaner.
Serve over rice, quinoa, noodles, or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Add zucchini or snap peas during the last hour to prevent overcooking.
