Searing and Prep

  2. Whisk honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and dried herbs in a small bowl until combined.
Slow Cooking
  1. Place halved potatoes and diagonal carrots in the slow cooker. Top with chicken and pour over the sauce.
  2. Cover and cook on Low for 6-7 hours or High for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender.
Final Finish

Add green beans last to keep them crisp and bright green.
