Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken
Honey Garlic Sauce
Once you remove the chicken and vegetables from the crock pot, there’ll be a good quantity of honey garlic sauce remaining. I recommend putting it through a fat separator to remove excess fat before serving.
For a thicker sauce, mix 2 teaspoons cornstarch with 3 teapsoons water in a cup to and pour into the sauce when adding the green beans. The sauce will thicken while the green beans cook, so everything is ready at once.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Serve Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs
While this slow cooker chicken recipe is a one pot meal, some readers served it with rice to soak up the extra sauce.
The chicken can look a bit pale out of the crock pot, so consider broiling for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the skin for an attractive presentation.
Then transfer the chicken and vegetables to serving plates and drizzle the honey garlic sauce on top. Add minced fresh parsley as well if desired.
Can you use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs?
Yes, but chicken breasts require less cooking time since they are leaner and prone to drying out. Cook for 3 to 4 hours on LOW or 1½ to 2 hours on HIGH. They are done as soon as they internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Can you overcook chicken in a slow cooker?
Chicken thighs will remain juicy within a 12-hour period in the slow cooker, but chicken breasts dry out much more sooner and require extra attention. Always fill your crock pot half to two-thirds full to keep everything juicy.
