When you come home to a house smelling like this Honey Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken Recipe you’ll thank me!
This Honey Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken Recipe has become a staple in our household. And why not? It’s easy, scrumptious and makes a great freezer meal, too!
What a week it’s been with all the fabulous giveaways happening around here, huh? The fun isn’t stopping yet – today, I’ve got a fabulous Slow Cooker Honey Chicken Recipe & #SlowCookerMeals Giveaway for you! I can’t wait for you to check out this new recipe I cobbled together, and enter for a chance to win this amazing slow cooker!
But before we get to that, I want to share with you my recipe for Honey Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken Recipe – this has become a new favorite in our house! We received the Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget® 6 Qt. Programmable Slow Cooker With Spoon/Lid to review and I wanted to try cooking something that I knew well to see how it compared to my old Crock Pot. I made my Slow Cooker Potato Soup and was really happy with the way it turned out – maybe even better than normal!
Being able to set the slow cooker on a timer means no more burned edges, which no one likes eating or cleaning! The slow cooker automatically changes it’s setting to WARM once the timer goes off – how cool is that?
I was really excited to try a new dish in my new slow cooker! I did some research on honey chicken recipes, and ended up tweaking recipes from Table for Two and Damn Delicious. I might be kind of a snob, but as a rule I don’t care to cook with ketchup. I decided instead to use tomato paste and rice wine vinegar instead. I omitted the oil and added additional honey. Adding the carrots adds a nice color and brightness to the dish, too. I’m really pleased with the way this turned out. It’s got a little kick from the red pepper flakes, and a whole lot of sweetness that equals pure deliciousness!
