An easy, set-it-and-forget-it slow cooker chicken recipe with a sweet and savory garlic sauce. Perfect for a family-friendly weeknight dinner, this dump-and-go meal can be served over rice or noodles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
  • Chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in the slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, minced garlic, olive oil, and grated ginger.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken from the slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Stir this mixture into the sauce remaining in the slow cooker. Cook on high for another 15-30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Shred or slice the chicken and return it to the sauce.
  7. Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with parsley or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • This recipe is great for meal prep. Portion it out for lunches throughout the week.
  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Adjust the amount of honey and brown sugar to your sweetness preference.
