Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken and Vegetables

Recipe adapted from The Little Potato Co. & Ashley Fehr

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 3 hours

Serves: 4

Ingredients

*Ingredients currently available at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market

3/4 pound of potatoes, diced*

6 oz carrots, peeled and sliced*

1 teaspoon canola oil

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts*

Salt and pepper (to taste)

2 Tablespoons tomato paste

3 Tablespoons cider vinegar*

2/3 cup honey*

5 teaspoons garlic, minced*

5 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 cup chicken broth

4 Tablespoons corn starch

3/4 cup broccoli florets*

3/4 cup stringless snap peas, chopped*

Directions

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, toss together potatoes, carrots and canola oil (or oil of choice).

Microwave on high for 7 to 9 minutes, until somewhat tender (about half-cooked).

Add chicken breasts to a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker and top with potatoes and carrots. Season with salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl, stir together tomato paste, vinegar, honey, garlic, soy sauce, chicken broth and corn starch.

Pour half of the mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker. Keep the other half in the fridge.

Cover slow cooker and cook for three hours on high (or about six hours on low).

Add broccoli and snap peas to the slow cooker (don’t stir, they will steam), cover and cook for another 30-40 minutes until tender-crisp and chicken is cooked through.

Meanwhile, pour remaining sauce into a small pot and cook over medium heat, whisking often, until thickened. Serve chicken and vegetables with extra sauce.
