Ingredients for Slow Cooker Chicken and Vegetables:

- Protein: use trimmed boneless skinless chicken thighs for this slow cooker meal

- Honey: use the honey you have on hand to add a little sweet nice to this healthy recipe
How to make Slow Cooker Chicken and Vegetables:

Tips and tricks for making this easy chicken and veggies recipe:
Type of chicken to use:
I enjoy using boneless chicken thighs with this recipe, but you could also use boneless skinless chicken breasts with this crock pot recipe as well.
What to serve with this main dish:
- White rice
- Cauliflower rice
- Dinner rolls
- Side salad
Can I turn this into a chicken stew?
If you prefer to make this into a chicken stew, you will need to add at least 4 cups of chicken broth to the slow cooker. Then, towards the halfway point of cooking, make a roux with flour and butter to create the thickening agent to create a thicker sauce with the tender chicken breasts.
Can I use fresh herbs?
If you prefer to use fresh herbs go for it, it is a great option! I tend to use dried herbs because they are more budget-friendly for this chicken dinner recipe. When using fresh herbs, be sure to triple the amount that you are adding to the blend of seasoning.
Favorite veggies to use:
- Red potatoes
- Sweet potatoes
- ​Broccoli
- Carrots
- Pea pods
