Print Recipe

A simple and satisfying slow cooker recipe featuring tender chicken thighs glazed with honey garlic sauce, cooked alongside baby potatoes and fresh green beans for a complete, comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, washed and halved (Yukon gold or red)
  • 8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup (85 g) honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) low sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil, plus extra for tossing vegetables
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of dried oregano or thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Trim the ends off the green beans and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried oregano or thyme. Set aside. Toss the green beans separately with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the potatoes evenly at the bottom of the crockpot.
  5. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the potatoes.
  6. Pour the honey garlic sauce all over the chicken and potatoes, coating them well.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.
  8. About 15 minutes before cooking time is up, add the green beans on top. Cover and continue cooking until the beans are tender but still bright green.
  9. Carefully remove the chicken and vegetables. Spoon the thickened honey garlic sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for best flavor and juiciness. Add green beans late in cooking to keep them crisp and vibrant. If sauce is too thin after cooking, remove chicken and veggies and simmer sauce on stovetop to thicken. For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce. Do not overcrowd the crockpot to ensure even cooking.
