Honey Garlic Chicken with Carrots, Potatoes & Green Beans

This honey garlic chicken with carrots, potatoes, and green beans was a huge hit with my family. I liked it because it was a complete meal with minimal effort. Everything goes in the slow cooker! The kids liked the crunchy chicken skin with moist flavorful chicken. It’s simple, full of flavor, and perfect for those busy nights.  What makes this recipe great is finishing the chicken thighs off in the oven and broiling them for 5-8 minutes. I would not skip this step. It really makes the dish.

To make a batch of honey garlic chicken with carrots, potatoes, and green beans you will need the following –

8-9 Chicken Thighs, bone-in and skin on
16 ounces Baby Red Potatoes, sliced in half
16 ounces Baby Carrots
16 ounces Green Beans, fresh and trimmed
1/2 C Soy Sauce
1/2 C Honey
1/4 C Ketchup
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Dried Basil
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1/4 tsp Black Pepper

First, we are going to create the sauce.  In a bowl combine the soy sauce, honey, ketchup, garlic, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and pepper. If you do not have basil and oregano you can sub 1 1/2 tsp of Italian seasoning.  Mix well.

In a 6 quart or larger slow cooker layer the chicken thighs on one side.

On the other side add in the carrots and potatoes.

Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables.

Place the lid on and let it cook for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.

Then add in the green beans and cook for an additional half-hour.

Once that is done, place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 5-8 minutes. Just until the skin is crispy brown. To help the chicken crisp nicely, spoon a little of the sauce from the slow cooker over each chicken thigh before placing then under the broiler.

Serve the chicken with a scoop of the vegetables and enjoy!

This reheats nicely. To get the skin crisp either reheat the chicken in a toaster oven or for a few minutes at 350 in the oven.
