Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken recipe courtesy of Slender Kitchen, Sitr-Fried Vegetables adapted from Weight Watchers.

Ingredients:
Honey Garlic Chicken
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks
3 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 tsp. dried basil
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup honey
Pinch red pepper flakes

Vegetables
1 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 1/2 Tbsp ginger root, finely chopped
3 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), finely chopped
Assorted vegetables: I used 1 sweet red pepper, 1 head of broccoli and half a pound of sugar snap peas
2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce

Directions:
Honey Garlic Chicken
Whisk together the garlic, basil, soy sauce, ketchup, and honey. Add the chicken to the crockpot. Pour the sauce over and mix everything together. Cook on low for 4 hours. If at any point the chicken seems to be drying out, then add a but of chicken broth. For crispy outside, spread onto a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes.

Vegetables
Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil, sesame oil, ginger and garlic; cook 15 seconds. Add vegetables; stir-fry for 3 minutes. Pour in soy sauce and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes more.
