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.

So good! If using chicken breast cook 4-5hrs and add fresh cut green beans during the last hour. My family loved it! Definitely will be on the rotation at our house!!
Is that 4-5hrs on low? I assume, but I’m very new to crockpot cooking and am not sure.
Hello 🙂 This might be a stupid question, but as I’m cooking for 1, I plan to halve all the ingredients. Should the cooking time remain the same?
Use sweet soy sauce it makes it 5x better
So good. The chicken was amazing and so tender.
The carrots and potatoes didn’t get tender enough for me after 4 hours on low. I took out chicken and simmered them a bit longer.
It’s four hours on high, that’s why.
This chicken is delicious. I used sweet potatoes (fresh), because I didn’t have the regular potatoes, and they were delicious! The sauce flavored them to deliciousness. This will be on my menus weekly. Thank you
I was wondering the same thing about the sweet potatoes! I have some and my son is allergic to white but can eat sweet, so I will use that tmrw! Also, some mushrooms and onions to go with it. Anything I read on here is always Damn Delicious!
Can you use chicken breasts for this recipe ??
Best recipe ever!! Damn Delicious, thank you!! Sauce was the best!!
Making this today! Does anyone know how many calories are in a single serving?
Hi Jana,
I am trying this recipe today. I pray it comes out great. I read some of the comments and decided to add some extra seasons. I am excited. I had a whole lot more vegetables than the images so I accounted for that as well. I can’t wait to eat it. I am considering serving over yellow rice. I have time to decide.
Thank you for sharing your ideas keep them coming
you do know Italian seasoning is 1/3 to 1/2 oregano? You may like it better than you think
It’s in the crockpot right now.. can’t wait to try it… I used drumsticks instead of thighs: just had those the other day…. I got so caught up I peeled the potatoes: so praying everything turns out great! Sounds good. pic looks really yummy… I will post after it is tasted/eaten.. FINGERS CROSSED.. tHANKS FOR SHARING.
yum! swapped the honey for maple syrup – soooo good!
Hi there, I’m curious if I can cook the chicken from frozen for the suggested 7-8 hours in this recipe? Or should the chicken be fully thawed prior to cooking? Thanks!
Frozen chicken is not recommended in the crockpot because it takes too long to thaw, putting it in the temperature danger zone! Thaw completely first!
Not sure if I missed something but this recipe was a disappointment in our house. Flavor was tolerable but not delicious. We won’t be making this one again.
I have no idea what I did wrong but the chicken completely fell apart and it turned into shredded chicken. I couldn’t broil the chicken at the end.
I just made this and it is delicious. I was a little thrown by there only being 3 thighs in the crockpot in the picture, but the recipe calling for eight, and that all not fitting in the crockpot with all the veggies. I ended up using two crockpots for it all to fit- I didn’t know if I could stack the veggies on top of the chicken. Next time I make it I may try thickening the sauce a bit so it’s a little less runny possibly with arrowroot?, and add more honey and more seasonings, but those are minor tweaks. It’s a great recipe, so easy, and one that I would use to entertain. Thanks so much for sharing it!
wow, first seen mention of reduced sodium soy sauce, sounds really great!
Thanks for the recipe and off course for detailed photos!
My ONLY improvement is to double the seasoning, soy sauce, and honey for more flavor but otherwise…
Was there not enough sauce? I’m a sauce girl
Hi! This looks so good! Can you use chicken breast instead of thighs?
This was fantastic and so easy! The only substitution I made was broccoli for green beans. The taste was really good and the chicken turned out tender.
My only question is: any tips for keeping the food looking like the picture? All of mine was quite brown by the time it was done cooking
Obviously presentation isn’t a big deal, but any tips would be appreciated. Awesome recipe and will make again!
Boy some of these comments are SO rude. Thank you for the awesome, easy recipe and thank you for putting this article out. You are feeding a lot of people from afar! I made this recipe with chicken breasts, carrots, potatoes, brussel sprouts and sliced up zucchini. Keep cooking!!
I ask you kindly to refrain from using curse words for your email. It is quite offensive and not gracious wording. Thank you

Wow, you come to her website and complain about her e-mail address? I remember when I was growing up we had the manners to respect others when we were visiting. It’s incredibly sad that the times have changed so much that we have forgotten our manners. I will pray for you.
Stupid damn lisa! your ridiculous

appearance as well!.
Bye bye little idiot and ungrateful lisa!.
Planning to make this and was wondering about using chicken breast instead and doubling the recipe. Any suggestions? Want to make sure it’s tasty and has sauce to spare.
Thanks!
