Crock Pot Honey Garlic Chicken & Potatoes

Busy days call for dinners that are easy, filling, and don’t require spending all evening in the kitchen. This Crock Pot Honey Garlic Chicken & Potatoes checks all the boxes.

Tender chicken, baby potatoes, and carrots cook together in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce for a complete meal made right in your slow cooker. With only 10 minutes of prep, you can get everything going in the morning and have dinner waiting for you later.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6–7 hours on LOW or 3–4 hours on HIGH

1½ lbs baby potatoes
3 carrots, chopped
⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Add the chicken to the bottom of your slow cooker. Arrange the baby potatoes and chopped carrots around the chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes and carrots are tender.

Serve warm and enjoy!

A Complete Dinner in One Pot

One of the best things about this recipe is that you don’t have to worry about making several different side dishes. You’ve already got chicken, potatoes, and carrots cooking together in one pot.

The honey adds just enough sweetness while the soy sauce and garlic balance everything with a rich, savory flavor. As everything slowly cooks, the potatoes and carrots soak up some of that honey garlic sauce too.

It’s a great option for busy weekdays when you want a homemade dinner without a lot of hands-on cooking.

Chicken Thighs or Chicken Breasts?

Either will work! Chicken thighs tend to stay especially tender and juicy during the longer cooking time, while chicken breasts are a great option if that’s what your family prefers or what you already have on hand.

Whichever you choose, make sure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F before serving.

Easy Additions

This recipe is already a full meal, but you can easily add something green on the side. Try steamed broccoli, green beans, a simple salad, or roasted asparagus.

And don’t forget to spoon that extra sauce over everything before serving—it’s one of the best parts!

Quick Tip: If your baby potatoes are on the larger side, cut them in half so they’ll become tender at about the same time as the chicken and carrots.
