How to Make Honey Garlic Chicken with Rice in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
I recently made a version of this recipe with bone-in pork chops recently. My entire family loved the original recipe, and I knew instantly I wanted to make this Honey Garlic Crock Pot Chicken with Rice recipe. I had a hunch that this sauce would go really well over rice, and boy does it ever!
This is a really quick recipe to throw together. You don’t necessarily have to do the thickening step at the end of the recipe, but I highly recommend it. In my opinion, it just takes the sauce up to a whole new level. If you are new to cooking and haven’t ever thickened a sauce with water and cornstarch, it takes a little bit of time, but don’t worry, it will thicken. You will also want to remember that once the sauce starts to cool, it will thicken up more. So, have some patience and trust the process. You will love the results!
