  • Pour the honey garlic sauce mixture evenly on top.
  • Cover the slow cooker and seal the lid. Cook on a LOW setting for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-3 ½ hours (see note).
  • About 20 minutes before serving, add the green beans to the slow cooker and optional cornstarch slurry to the sauce.
  • Re-seal the lid and cook for 15-20 minutes more until the green beans are tender and the sauce is starting to thicken.
  • Remove the chicken and vegetables to serving plates using a slotted spoon. Optional: Broil the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes to brown the skin.
  • Drizzle sauce on top of chicken and vegetables. Garnish with optional minced parsley.

Notes

Use a quality soy sauce brand such as Kikkoman or San-J for the best results. Check doneness at the early end of the time range. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
