Things are starting to ramp up here in my house. I feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day right now. I recently shared a picture with a friend of my GIANT pile of laundry that I can’t seem to conquer. I’m busy with all the exciting things happening here on RH and some super exciting things to come. I also have 2 little monkeys home for summer still that are heading back in few short weeks. Back to School is a little sad and a whole lot of happy. I love hanging out with my guys and being able to be relaxed with bedtime if something has come up but I we need a routine. I need the time in the morning when they’re both in school to get work done. Working from home is so incredible and I’m lucky that I get to do it but I was so naive when I thought it would be easier. The summers are hard because I find myself feeling guilty working while they’re here, but needing to work. Then 10, 11, 12 o’clock rolls around and I’m trying to get all my work for the day finished up. So with all this craziness happening my absolute favorite thing in my kitchen right now is my slow cooker!!!
I love being to throw everything into my crock pot in the morning with just a few minutes of prep work. Then I can get my work done or play with my boys without having to babysit our meal. It also frees up extra time in the evening since dinner is already cooking! This Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken is so fantastically easy to make. It’s one of my favorite chicken recipes, and you know why? There are only 5 ingredients in this recipe!!!! F-I-V-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only that but they are all things you probably keep in your pantry all the time. I love a simple dish I can turn to that tastes amazing. Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken will be making a regular appearance on my dinner table this school year!

Hmm I think I did something wrong, my sauce isn’t really sticky – it runs off the chicken and doesn’t stick to it. Any ideas? I cooked it on low for 7 hours. Does it get more sticky if you cook it on high instead?

Hi Aubrey,
I just want to THANK YOU for including a picture of the recipe with each print-out. So many other sites don’t but I like to see what I’m about to attempt making.
Barbara Dillon says
I am going to try this today.
Mary Cosgrove says
Can I use 6 chicken breasts with this recipe? Why bother to use a crockpot for only 4? I will try 6 and hope for the best.
stina says
There are crockpots of varying sizes, so for some, 4 breasts in a crockpot isn’t that wasteful. Also, crockpots are great for the convenience of getting your dinner cooking and then being able to leave the house to run errands or whatever. Personally I’m planning on working on my car this afternoon; I appreciate that I can go out there & do what I need to do without worrying about the timing of starting dinner, even if it is only 4 chicken breasts (for 2 people, so my husband has leftovers for lunches for the next few days).
Crystal Moore says
Can you use frozen chicken breast? If so any changes on how long to cook it for?
Andrew says
I often use frozen chicken breasts in the crock pot, add about 30 minutes of time the crock pot. Check that the breasts are tender, so they can be pulled apart with a fork.
