Just because summer is quickly approaching in about two weeks does not mean that you need to put your crockpot in storage. Rain or shine, winter or summer, slow cookers are meant to be used 365 days of the year, and it comes in really handy when you move into a new home and you have no idea if the oven or gas range is working yet.
Seriously. We have been living in our new home for less than a week and I have yet to test out the stove. But my slow cooker never fails me, especially in this glorious one pot meal, packed with the most flavor-packed chicken thighs and three different kinds of veggies.
The recipe calls for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, which I highly recommend using if you decide to broil the chicken at the very end to help crisp up the skin. But this is a completely optional step so if you decide to skip this, it is best to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or boneless, skinless chicken breasts). You can’t go wrong either way!
Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken and Veggies
Ingredients
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 16 ounces baby red potatoes, halved
- 16 ounces baby carrots
- 16 ounces green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
For the sauce
- ½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Equipment
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, ketchup, garlic, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes and pepper.
- Place chicken thighs, potatoes, carrots and soy sauce mixture into a 6-qt slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, basting every hour. Add green beans during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
- OPTIONAL: Preheat oven to broil. Place chicken thighs onto a baking sheet, skin side up, and broil until crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve chicken immediately with potatoes, carrots and green beans, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Our family loves this! Could you put it all in a freezer bag as a dump meal later? I’m trying to prepare for postpartum. Thanks!
This is one of husbands absolute favourite slow cooker recipes ever, the flavours are amazing,
I tried this recipe. It was pretty good. The only thing is it was really done by six hours on low and the green beans if they’re fresh seem to shrink up quite a bit I did them for an hour though we did put chicken thighs and skinned them I noticed when you’re completely done from the soy sauce everything looks very brown, doesn’t exactly look like the photo shown here but very tasty
Love this recipe! Have made it numerous times. I’m looking at attending an event and wondering if I could double the batch in the same pot. Has anyone tried this? Thanks in advance
Very easy, and so good! Me and my boys (12 & 14) loved this meal. It was very flavorful and filling I will definitely make it again!
Chicken cooks much faster than the vegetables.
If I want to do green beans carrots and potatoes with the chicken when would I add each of those in?
Can I make this the day before or is it best to just cook the chicken and add the veggies separately
Delicious! Definitely a keeper! Thanks for posting!
Fantastic! So easy to make!
I love this recipe so much, but am now on a no tyramine diet and soy sauce is sooo high, could I use chicken stock in place of the soy sauce?
I typically substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce in my cooking. Check to see if that is something that you could use.
I used thai basil from my garden and added a little sambal oelek in place of the crushed red pepper flakes. Also used sweet potatoes instead of red potatoes since that is what I had.
So delicious and so easy to tweak using whatever you have or like.
And the sauce! I recommend making extra and serving it over rice.
Definitely making this again!
Making this tonight and so relieved you used sweet potatoes as this is what I have. Excited!!
Can you provide nutritional information by serving? Thank you
The first all in one crock pot recipe with meat and veggies that my whole family loved and ate!
I plan on making this tomorrow but it’s just me. If I do 3 chicken thighs, would it still need to cook the whole 8 hours?
This recipe is excellent, made it quite often
This recipe is fabulous and my husband loved it!!
I ended up with more sauce than I needed or wanted, so two days later, I used it over a small pork tenderloin that I also cooked in my crock pot with apples, yellow butternut squash and green beans!! Also fabulous!!!
Great way to use the leftover liquid, Poppy. Thanks for the idea.
This sounds delicious! Please include a nutrition analysis …
Delicious. I make it a lot.
It is delicious love cooking in the crock pot thanks.
