This easy slow-cooker recipe features juicy chicken thighs cooked in a sweet and sticky honey garlic sauce that is perfect served over rice or with your favorite veggies.

Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, red pepper flakes, and black pepper until the honey is fully blended in.
2
Arrange the chicken breast halves in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker, sprinkle them with a bit of salt, and pour the honey sauce over the top. Keeping the chicken on the bottom means it cooks directly in the sauce and soaks up the most flavor.
3
Cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 hours.
4
Add the baby carrots, broccoli florets, and sliced bell pepper. Using tongs, turn the chicken and toss the vegetables through the sauce for about 1 minute, until everything is evenly coated. Adding the vegetables partway through keeps them from turning mushy.
5
Cover and cook on high for another 1 1/2 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and pulls apart easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
6
For crispy skin, transfer the chicken skin-side up to a parchment-lined baking sheet and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely, until the skin is golden and crispy. This step is optional but worth it, since the slow cooker leaves the skin soft.
7
Plate the chicken with the vegetables and spoon some of the honey sauce left in the slow cooker over the top before serving.
