Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 4 medium-sized breasts
  • 1 lb fresh green beans trimmed
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger minced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tsp sesame oil optional, for finishing

Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker A 6-quart slow cooker is recommended.
  • 1 Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, chicken broth, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 2 hours.
  3. About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the trimmed green beans to the crockpot and stir. Cover and continue cooking until tender-crisp.
  4. Remove chicken and green beans. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the liquid in the crockpot until it thickens.
  5. Return the chicken and green beans to the crockpot. Drizzle with sesame oil and toss to coat in the glaze. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use fresh green beans and add them only in the last 30 minutes of cooking to ensure they stay crisp-tender.
This dish is delicious served over a bed of fluffy rice to soak up the extra sauce.
