Honey garlic slow cooker chicken is the sweet-savory dinner to put over rice when everyone is hungry and the evening is already full.vOur Garlic Infused Honey, soy sauce and our 18-Year Traditional Dark Balsamic Vinegar make a simple sauce that coats tender chicken thighs without needing a long ingredient list. Add steamed broccoli or green beans on the side and let everyone build a bowl.

Serves 6. Prep: 15 minutes. Cook: 4–5 hours on LOW, plus 5–10 minutes for the sauce.

I N G R E D I E N T S :

• 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, fully thawed
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• ⅓ cup Rocky Mountain Olive Oil Garlic Infused Honey
• ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
• 2 tablespoons Rocky Mountain Olive Oil 18-Year Traditional Dark Balsamic Vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Rocky Mountain Olive Oil Garlic Infused Olive Oil
• ¼ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water, optional
• Cooked rice and steamed vegetables, for serving

I N S T R U C T I O N S :

1. Place the onion and thawed chicken thighs in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker.
2. Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, balsamic, oil, broth, garlic and pepper. Pour over the chicken and turn the thighs to coat.
3. Cover and cook on LOW for about 4–5 hours, checking at 4 hours. The chicken must reach 165°F in the thickest part and should pull apart easily.
4. Transfer the chicken to a plate. For a thicker sauce, pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan, bring to a simmer and whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Simmer 2–3 minutes until lightly thickened.
5. Return the chicken and sauce to the cooker and toss gently. Serve over rice with vegetables.
