My hubby is a fan of Almonds and so this recipe makes him happy. Slow Cooker Honey Almond Chicken is so easy to prepare.
- In a 4-5 quart slow cooker, place chicken and 1/4 cup slivered almonds.
- Whisk soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and oil in a separate bowl to combine.
- Pour over chicken and stir to coat the chicken.

- Cover. Cook for 8 hours on Low or on 4 hours on High.
- Approximately fifteen minutes before finished, remove the chicken to a plate.
- Whisk cornstarch and water until smooth and stir into the slow cooker.
- Put the chicken along with 1/2 cup snap peas back in the slow cooker and finish crocking for 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

This is definitely one of my absolute FAVORITES!! This dish is so tasty, my whole fanily loves it!
I made this tonight… the flavor is very good. However, my chicken was very dry. I used large breasts, so I cut each breast into about 6 pieces, which seemed similar in size to the photo. I cooked them on low for 8 hours. The chicken was very browned when I took it out (from the soy sauce) where it had been sitting on the bottom on the crock pot. I’m new at crock pot cooking, so would love some advice on how not to dry out my chicken!
Hi Lisa, it may be that even though you cooked your chicken on Low that your slow cooker actually is cooking a little hot. Therefore, at 8 hours that may be too long for your slow cooker. For your next meal, I would use a meat thermometer and check it a couple hours before the stated cooking time is done, and if not done check it again. Hope this helps, you will learn your slow cooker and then you will know how to adjust. Thanks for the question, and Happy Crocking!
I cooked mine on low for 4 hours, and the result resembles something undesirable. we tossed it and ate getting take out. I really had high hopes for this.
I’m curious if that is an actual true result photo of the crock pot meal.
Stefani, this is a favorite at my house, I am wondering if your slow cooker is crocking properly. This picture was taken in my kitchen! You may want to do a test on your slow cooker to see if it is crocking properly. Here is a link to help you test your slow cooker! http://www.docstoc.com/docs/151733107/Slow-Cookers—Purdue-University
I see you crocked this on Low for 4 hours, you would need to crock on High for it to crock properly, and 8 hours on Low.
I read Stefani’s post and she stated that she cooked it on low for 4 hours. She didn’t cook it long enough. I want to try this with thighs; will they work?
Barbara, I’ve not made it with thighs, but I am sure it would be delicious.
i am unable to use cornstarch due to corn allergy. Is there a substitute I could use instead?
Hello Sharice. You can substitute corn starch with, arrowroot, potato starch, tapioca, and even instant mashed potato granules. Hope this helps!
I was wondering where all the calories came from? Chicken breast, honey and veggies don’t have that many calories…even with the brown rice that seems like a lot. I’m seriously watching my calorie intake, but this sounds SUPER yummy, may have to see if I can alter it just a bit…
Most of the calories come from the chicken, honey and rice! It is delicious!
I don’t care for fresh ginger. What would the equivalent be in powdered ginger. Thanks so much Jean. I love your recipes and have tried many of them.
We really liked it. I left out the oil, used green beans instead of peas, and added a bit of Thai chili sauce while making the sauce. Thanks for the idea!!
