Garlic Honey Chicken
Freezer to Crockpot Meal
A few weeks ago I stocked up my chicken, so my neighbor and I were on a mission to make some delicious freezer to crockpot meals. This Garlic Honey Chicken was the first one my family tried and my son said “Mom, I think this is your best chicken recipe yet!” I love it when I get praise like that 🙂
I love garlic and I love honey, so in my mind this recipe was going to be fabulous! The garlic is not over-powering at all, and the honey adds a bit of sweetness. As you can see, I served mine on a bed of beautifully sauteed veggies. My kids skipped out of the zucchini and squash and opted for rice 😉
Now, here is my Garlic Honey Chicken Crockpot recipe. You don’t HAVE to make it as a freezer to crockpot meal, if you decide to not do it that way, just place all the ingredients into the crockpot and cook it for the specified time.

I mentioned that I sauteed my vegetables for this Garlic Honey Chicken Recipe, I used orange bell pepper, zucchini, and squash. My seasoning was Dirt by VooDoo Chef and just about a tablespoon of Olive Oil. They were the perfect compliment to the chicken.
I hope you get told this Garlic Honey Chicken recipe is your family’s favorite new Chicken Recipe too!

Easy to make!
I love cooking in my crock pot during the summer. It keeps the house from getting hot from the oven.
I’m always looking for the next crockpot recipe for my household to enjoy, thanks for sharing!
Loving all the crock pot meals. They’re so easy to do and it feels good making a good meal without all the work. I’d love to see some easy camping meals though. We have a week long camping trip coming up and it’s hard to come up with easy camping meals that can be cooked over the fire ( and I’m so tired of hot dogs on sticks LOL) for a whole week. We want to try some different meals, not the same ol, same ol campfire meals. So I’d love to see some food experiments for campfire meals.
We go camping this summer too – I will think of some fun ideas for us both 🙂
This is one of those great all-time chicken dishes that work any season. I cannot wait to try your recipe out to see how great it really is.
