Description
A comforting and effortless dinner of tender chicken bathed in a honey-soy-garlic sauce, slow-cooked with carrots for a sweet, savory delight.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 carrots, sliced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic together. Whisk until combined.
- Place the chicken in the crockpot and season with salt and pepper. Arrange pieces in a single layer if possible.
- Pour the honey garlic mixture over the chicken.
- Add sliced carrots around the chicken, tucking them into the sauce.
- Cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir into the sauce in the final 15–30 minutes of cooking.
- Serve over rice or noodles, garnished as desired.
Notes
For deeper flavor, consider searing the chicken before placing it in the crockpot. The sauce can be adjusted by adding more soy sauce or reducing the honey.
