SLOW COOKER HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN

This slow cooker honey garlic chicken recipe starts with boneless, skinless chicken thighs–my favorite chicken to make in the slow cooker. I love cooking with chicken thighs in the slow cooker because they do so well with the low temps and the long cooking times. The collagen turns to gelatin and the chicken becomes so easy to shred. You can also use bone-in chicken for this recipe, if you prefer. But if you do, make sure to remove the skin first or else it just gets rubbery and gross.

I added broccoli to the slow cooker after the chicken was done cooking but if I were to make this again I would just serve the broccoli on the side. I didn’t necessarily love the way the lemon juice/honey mixture went with the broccoli.
