Easy Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken

This recipe delivers tender chicken coated in a glossy honey-garlic sauce. It is comforting and satisfying for busy families.
When I tested this recipe, my favorite part was lifting the slow-cooker lid to that irresistible honey-garlic aroma. My family kept asking what I was making long before dinner was ready, which is a good sign every time.
