Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauces

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Vegetables

  • 3 cups mixed stir-fry vegetables (such as bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, and broccoli)

Noodles

  • 8 oz chow mein noodles, cooked according to package instructions

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken and sauces: Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into the crockpot. Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil, ensuring the chicken is well-coated with the mixture.
  2. Slow cook the chicken: Set the crockpot to low and cook for 4 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and infused with the flavors of the sauces.
  3. Shred chicken and add vegetables: After 4 hours, shred the chicken using two forks directly in the crockpot. Add the mixed stir-fry vegetables, stirring them in well.
  4. Cook vegetables: Continue to cook on low for an additional 30 minutes, so the vegetables soften slightly but remain crisp.
  5. Add noodles and serve: Just before serving, stir in the cooked chow mein noodles thoroughly so they absorb some of the flavorful sauce. Serve hot for a delicious, comforting meal.

Notes

  • For extra protein and flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts as they stay moist during slow cooking.
  • Feel free to customize the vegetable mix based on what you have on hand or prefer.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 15 minutes and let the liquid reduce slightly.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Cook noodles just before adding to prevent them from becoming mushy.
