Learn how to make delicious Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Gather these ingredients to create a dish that’s as easy as it is delicious:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

If you’re missing any of these, don’t worry! You can substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option or swap honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.

Instructions

Follow these simple steps, and let the slow cooker do the magic:

  1. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Pour this mixture over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.
  3. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  4. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker and stir well. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 10 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the slow cooker, coating it with the thickened sauce.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Cooking tip: If you prefer a more pronounced garlic flavor, feel free to add an extra clove or two. My abuela always said, “Garlic is the spice of life,” and I tend to agree!
