Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken!! 💛😋
If you’ve been craving a no-stress, dump-and-go, family-approved dinner… this is it. This Honey Garlic Chicken is one of those recipes that tastes like you put in hours, but the slow cooker does all the work for you. Tender chicken, a glossy honey-garlic sauce, and that perfect balance of sweet and savory—honestly, it’s the kind of meal you’ll find yourself making over and over again.
I originally tried this on one of those crazy busy days when I wanted something comforting but didn’t want to stand in the kitchen forever. After the first bite, I knew it was going straight into my weekly rotation. It’s also a GREAT beginner recipe—almost impossible to mess up, super affordable, and the flavor tastes like takeout but cleaner, fresher, and made with simple ingredients.
💛 Why This Recipe Works:
- No prepping, no sautéing—just toss it all in.
- That sticky honey-garlic sauce thickens perfectly in the crockpot.
- The chicken stays juicy and tender every time.
- Pairs with rice, noodles, or even mashed potatoes.
- Meal-prep friendly and picky-eater approved!
🍯 Ingredients:
– Chicken breasts or thighs
– Honey
– Soy sauce
– Minced garlic
– A little ketchup for thickness
– Optional: red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, green onions
👩🍳 How to Make It:
Place your chicken into the crockpot, whisk together your honey-garlic sauce, pour it over the top, cover, and let it cook low and slow until it falls apart with a fork. Before serving, thicken the sauce with a cornstarch slurry (optional but AMAZING), and spoon everything over warm rice. So simple. So good.
✨ Pro Tip: Let the chicken cook untouched—slow and steady gives the sauce time to caramelize and deepen in flavor. And if you love a little heat, a pinch of chili flakes takes it to another level!
