Crockpot boneless chicken thighs slow cooked with honey and garlic are deliciously tender! This easy paleo slow cooker recipe is family friendly and better than take out!
Boneless chicken thighs are completely underrated in my opinion. I don’t know where I started to favor chicken breast over chicken thighs, but I know that I wasn’t giving chicken thighs are fair shake!
These crockpot boneless chicken thighs are incredibly tender. You may be wondering if you could swap chicken breast for chicken thighs for this recipe.
You absolutely can use chicken breasts or drumsticks. I’m 100% in favor of using what you like or what you have on hand!
However, if you haven’t tried chicken thighs in the crockpot, this recipe is your sign to give them a try! Although I have some really delicious and healthy chicken crockpot recipes here (check out Healthy Crock Pot Chicken Alfredo!), this recipe needs some chicken thigh action!
Chicken thighs in the crock pot are so tender and pull apart with ease. You will love them in this paleo chicken recipe!
A simple paleo honey garlic sauce made with paleo ketchup, raw honey, garlic, oregano and coconut aminos is mixed with delicious chicken thighs and cooked to perfection in the slow cooker.
Mix it up with some asian veggies (I love this recipe with broccoli!) and serve over cauliflower rice for a light and delicious easy weeknight meal!
How do I Cook Crockpot Boneless Chicken Thighs?
The slow cooker is one of the easiest ways to cook chicken thighs! You don’t need to sear these (although you can!), just drench them in the delicious paleo honey garlic sauce and set them in the crock pot.
To begin, make the paleo honey garlic sauce. You will need:
- Minced garlic
- Coconut Aminos
- Paleo Ketchup
- Oregano
- Raw Honey
