Ingredients

1 1/2 to 2pounds Chicken Thighsboneless, skinless (4 or one thigh per family member)
3 Garlic Clovessmashed and chopped
1teaspoon Basildried
1/2cup Soy SauceLa Choy or Tamari wheat-free are gluten free
1/2cup Ketchup
1/3cup Honey

Instructions

Use a 4-quart slow cooker (if using a 6-quart, this will cook faster. Check after 3 hours on high, 5 hours on low).
Put the chicken into your cooker. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients, then pour evenly over the top.
Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3-4 (I’d go with low—).
Serve with basmati rice and steamed or roasted vegetables.

Recipe Notes

The ketchup and honey tastes a bit like barbecue sauce, but slightly more tart. The basil gives it a different, herby flavor.

If you are into freezer meals, this is a great candidate— load all the ingredients into a freezer bag (raw chicken, the sauce ingredients) and then freeze. Thaw the bag overnight in the fridge, then plop the ingredients into your cooker for a fast morning plug-in.
