16ozGreen Beans, fresh and trimmed

2clovesGarlic, minced
1tsp Dried Basil
1/2tspDried Oregano
1/4tspCrushed Red Pepper Flakes
1/4tspBlack Pepper
Instructions
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.
