Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ¼ cup honey or agave nectar
  • ½ cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • ¼ cup mustard (I like Dijon or whole grain, but any kind you have around will work)
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ½ tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  • Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker crock and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Sprinkle the garlic and onions all over the chicken thighs.
  • In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, combine honey, coconut aminos, sesame oil, mustard, red pepper flakes and thyme, whisking until a smooth sauce forms.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken thighs and turn to coat.
  • Cover, then set the slow cooker to low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.

To make it a freezer meal:

  • Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and place them in a freezer bag. Add onions and garlic.
  • Make sauce and pour into bag.
  • Seal bag and move ingredients around in bag until chicken is coated.
  • Freeze for up to three months.
  • Defrost chicken, pour into slow cooker and cook on low 4 hours or high 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
