16 ounces baby carrots
16 ounces green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
For the sauce:
1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup ketchup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ketchup, garlic, basil, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
2. Place chicken thighs, potatoes, carrots, and sauce mixture in a 6-quart slow cooker.
3. Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, basting every hour.
4. Add green beans during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
5. OPTIONAL: Preheat oven to broil and place chicken skin-side up on a baking sheet. Broil 3–4 minutes to crisp.

Broil the chicken at the end for crispier skin.
Add vegetables earlier if you prefer them very soft.
