SLOW COOKER HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN

INGREDIENTS

• 2.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• Salt and black pepper
• ⅓ cup honey
• ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, adjust for heat)

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

• Sliced green onions, chopped peanuts, chopped parsley or cilantro, extra sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha for a spicy kick

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Season chicken thighs lightly with salt and black pepper and add to the insert of your slow cooker.
2. Mix remaining ingredients together in a small bowl and pour the sauce over the chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
3. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2 ½-3 hours.
4. Remove the chicken thighs and either cut it into chunks or shred it with two forks. Mix the chicken back into the sauce in the slow cooker and let sit for at least 5-10 minutes, to help absorb the juices.
5. Serve hot with any desired toppings and enjoy!
