Honey Garlic Chicken and Broccoli

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds chicken thighs (about 3-4 chicken thighs)
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 (12 oz) bag frozen broccoli
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix chicken broth, honey, soy sauce, garlic, red pepper flakes, rice wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Taste the mixture to make sure it has enough.

  2. Lay out chicken thighs along the bottom of the crock pot and pour the honey/garlic mixture on top.

  3. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6.

  4. The last hour of cooking before serving, mix together the corn starch and water in a small bowl. Mix until there are no lumps of corn starch remaining. Then remove lid of crock pot and pour the corn starch slurry into the sauce, mixing slightly. Then using a spoon or spatula, move the chicken to the side of the crock pot slightly to add the broccoli on the empty side. Replace lid and let finish cooking

  5. When ready to serve, you can use two forks to shred up the chicken if desired. Stir the broccoli so that it gets fully coated in the sauce.

Recipe Notes

You can use fresh broccoli instead of frozen if desired! I just like the convenience of frozen broccoli and not having to chop anything.

You can also use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs if desired. I prefer chicken thighs because they don't dry out as easily in the crock pot.
