Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional garnish: chopped green onions, sesame seeds

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Make the Sauce:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken:
   • Place the chicken breasts in a crockpot or slow cooker.
   • Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken, making sure to coat each piece evenly.
4. Cook in the Crockpot:
   • Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Cooking times may vary depending on your crockpot.
5. Air Fryer Finish:
   • Once the chicken is cooked in the crockpot, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
   • Transfer the cooked chicken breasts from the crockpot to the air fryer basket.
   • Air fry for about 5-7 minutes, until the chicken gets a crispy exterior. Make sure to flip halfway through for even cooking.
6. Serve:
   • Once done, remove the chicken from the air fryer.
   • Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
   • Serve the honey garlic chicken hot with your favorite sides like rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables.
