Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Veggies
  • 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs Substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts if desired.
  • 1 pound Baby red potatoes Halved for even cooking.
  • 1 cup Baby carrots Use whole or cut into similarly-sized pieces.
  • 1 cup Green beans Trimmed before adding.
For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Reduced sodium soy sauce Tamari is a great gluten-free alternative.
  • 1/3 cup Honey Agave syrup for vegan swap.
  • 1/4 cup Ketchup Mix tomato paste and water as a substitute.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced; fresh garlic gives the best taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried basil Italian seasoning can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes Omit for a milder dish.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper
For Garnish
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley Optional.

Equipment

  • 6-quart slow cooker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the reduced sodium soy sauce, honey, ketchup, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and ground black pepper. Whisk until well-blended.
  2. In a 6-quart slow cooker, layer the bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, halved baby red potatoes, and whole baby carrots. Pour the sauce over the top.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Baste the chicken every hour.
  4. During the last 30 minutes, stir in the trimmed green beans.
  5. Optionally, transfer the cooked thighs to a baking sheet and broil for 3-4 minutes for a crispy skin.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
