This healthy dinner is an easy recipe, that’s hearty and full of flavor. The chicken is super tender and juicy and the best part is it’s all made in one pot, like my Crockpot Chicken and Gravy or my Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs.

Why this recipe works

Lemon, honey, and garlic pair beautifully with chicken in this slow cooker recipe and make it the perfect weeknight meal. Tender chicken cooked low and slow in a crockpot, and the potatoes soak up all that honey lemon garlic sauce juice. You can browse through my crockpot recipes to find more delicious chicken dinners.

Ingredients needed

Notes

Chicken thighs: Bone in skin on chicken thighs, chicken legs also work great.
Onion: White or yellow onion.
Garlic: Fresh minced garlic for best flavor.
Honey:
Lemon: A combination of lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a bright citrus flavor.
Potatoes: Baby potatoes or creamer potatoes are what I use, yukon gold or red potatoes can be cut into large 1 1/2 inch chunks.
Fresh Herbs: Fresh thyme and rosemary.
Green beans: Fresh or frozen is what is recommended, canned will also work in a pinch just add them the last 5 minutes to heat through.

Recipe Tips for Lemon Honey Chicken

We love green beans, and they cook to perfection when adding them in the last 20-30 minutes, broccoli would also work great.
Broiling the chicken after it’s done is highly recommended. Chicken doesn’t ever come out of the slow cooker looking pretty. Broiling it not only adds color but gives it that delicious crispy skin.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Place some potatoes under the broiler to get some color on them if you like.
