Crock Pot - Honey Garlic Chicken

In Steve's family, his mom did all the cooking. In my family, my dad did the majority of the cooking. So when Steve and I got married a little over 5 years ago, we both assumed that the other would do the cooking.

Anyone who knows me even a little knows that I am no cook and that I hate cooking. Steve is no different.

We have been trying to find easy meals that are fast to make. Everybody has told us to make crock pot meals. I found this honey garlic chicken recipe and LOVE IT!! It is so easy and so fast to prepare. It also tastes really good! The chicken was so tender and the sauce was delicious! This recipe will definitely be added to our meal rotations. 

Ingredients
*Prep time takes about 5 minutes*
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 Tablespoons garlic (you can use fresh garlic cloves as well)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup ketchup 
  • 1/2 cup soy sause (low sodium)
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 Tablespoons parsley (fresh)
  • 1/2 Tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions

1.) Place your slow cooker liner in your crock pot. If you haven't used these before, you need to! It makes clean up so much faster.
2.) Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of the crock pot; mine were completely frozen.
3.) Mix your honey, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic, oregano, and parsley in a bowl before putting it in the crock pot. Mix thoroughly. 
4.) Pour the sauce on top of the chicken thighs. 

5.) Place lid on crock pot. Cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours. 
6.) Serve. 
7.) We had rice and a mixed veggie for our sides with the honey garlic chicken. You can eat it just plain as well. :)
