Honey-Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs w/ Mashed Potatoes, Sugar Snap Peas and Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Honey-Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs w/ Mashed Potatoes, Sugar Snap Peas and Carrots




A sunny but coll morning, 40 degrees, to start. But clouds kept rolling in as the day went on. Had a
light Breakfast and my morning workout, then off to Meijer. Mom wanted some Beef Cube Steak and Meijer has the best around. Very lean and tender unlike other places where it's sometimes tough and stringy. Picked up a few other items while there, I wanted some Jennie - O Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages and the Jennie - O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links but as usual they were out of stock on them. Puzzling why it's so tough to find Jennie - O Turkey Products around here! Meijer and Walmart are the only ones to carry multiple items and they aren't very consistent with keeping it in stock. Anyway back home did some housecleaning inside and out. For dinner tonight a new recipe, Honey-Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs. Tonight's it's Honey-Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs w/ Mashed Potatoes, Sugar Snap Peas and Carrots.
   




Came across this in an email from  http://allrecipes.com/ and couldn't wait to try it! So tonight it's
Honey-Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs. It's really an easy recipe to make. I'll need the following; 4 skinless, boneless Chicken Thighs, 1/2 cup Soy Sauce (reduced sodium), 1/2 cup Hunt's Ketchup, 1/3 cup Honey, 3 cloves Garlic (minced), and 1 teaspoon Dried Basil.



To prepare it as I said was very easy! To start Lay Chicken Thighs into the bottom of a 4-quart slow cooker. Whisk Soy Sauce, Ketchup, Honey, Garlic, and Basil together in a bowl; pour over the Chicken. Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6 hours. After 6 hours you have some incredible tasting Chicken Thighs! The combination of all 5 ingredients works perfectly with the Chicken. I especially like that hint of Honey flavor.That "Keeper Recipe" collection just keeps growing with this addition to it! Look no further for that next Chicken Recipe.




For one side I made some Bob Evan's Mashed Potatoes, just microwave for a total of 6 minutes and
serve. Then I also had some Sugar Snap Peas and Carrots. I buy this from the Kroger Produce Department. The Sugar Snap Peas and Carrots come in sealed plastic tray and all you have to do is prepare it the way you want. I pan fried mine in a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. In a medium size skillet just fry on medium heat until vegetables are fork tender. I also baked Multi Grain Baguette Bread. For dessert later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.
