Ingredients

For the Chicken

2 lbs chicken thighs (boneless & skinless) Trim any excess fat before cooking.

For the Sauce

1 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Vegetables

2 cups mixed vegetables (like broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers) Feel free to substitute with your favorite vegetables.

For Thicker Sauce (Optional)

1 tablespoon cornstarch Mix with water for thickening sauce.
2 tablespoons water

Method

Preparation

Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken thighs and placing them in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Making the Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, and black pepper until combined.

Combining Ingredients

Pour the sauce over the chicken thighs in the slow cooker, ensuring they are fully coated.
Layer the mixed vegetables on top of the chicken and sauce mixture.

Cooking

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is fork-tender and the vegetables are perfectly cooked.
If you want a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Serving

Once done, give the dish a gentle stir and serve with rice or naan for a delicious meal!

Notes

Feel free to substitute mixed vegetables based on your preference. Middle-cooking timing may vary based on your slow cooker model. Avoid over-cooking the vegetables to prevent mushiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for up to two months.
