Apricot-Ginger Chicken with Green Beans - Crock Pot
May 08, 2016
Prep Time : 5-10 minutes
Cook Time : 3-10 hours depending on your day (the longer you cook though the more cooked your green beans will be).
Yield : 3 Servings
This can be made right away or made a freezer meal by placing all ingredients in a gallon freezer bag. Take the bag out the night before you plan on cooking it (however, this isn't required and can be placed in the crock pot that morning).
Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (I use chicken breasts)
2/3 cup apricot jam
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1-inch fresh ginger root, peeled and grated (I use the ginger in a jar/tube)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 pound fresh green beans, cut into 1” pieces (I found leaving them whole makes it easier to remove them. See my notes for more information)
Directions:
Place all ingredients into the crock pot and cook for 3-10 hours.
Nutrition:
I couldn't find the nutrition on this one sorry.
My notes:
I wouldn't say this is the best recipe but it is a good one. The chicken can be served in chunks but to hold more flavor I remove the green beans from the crock pot and shred the chicken to capture the juices better. Also, I discovered using pre-frozen green beans was disgusting and fresh should be used always!
