Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts for a leaner option)
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli) Chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or teriyaki sauce for a twist)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (Optional for extra flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger (fresh ginger works best)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by chopping your mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces, and mince the garlic.
Sauce Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. This will be your luscious sauce!
Layer in Slow Cooker
  1. Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken, then scatter your veggies on top.
Cooking
  1. Cover your slow cooker and set it to low for about 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Yes, it’s that easy!
Serving
  1. Once it’s cooked through and tender, serve over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa. Enjoy that sweet, savory goodness!

Notes

Feel free to experiment with your choice of veggies! You can use snap peas, zucchini, or even sweet potatoes. Trim excess fat from the chicken for a cleaner taste. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions before serving!
