There is nothing better than coming home to a meal that is already cooked and waiting for you. These noodles are packed with tender chicken, vibrant bell peppers, and a sticky sweet sauce that everyone in the family will enjoy. It is the perfect solution for those busy weeknights when you want something satisfying without all the extra work.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how flexible it is. You can easily swap in whatever vegetables you have on hand, like broccoli or snap peas, or use different types of noodles based on what is in your pantry. Just be sure to whisk your cornstarch slurry well so your sauce turns out perfectly glossy and thick every time.

๐Ÿงบ Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles
  • Green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸณInstructions

  1. 1

    Place the chicken, sliced bell pepper, chicken broth, honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, and minced ginger into your slow cooker.

  2. 2

    Stir the mixture well to combine everything, then cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours until the chicken is cooked through.

  3. 3

    Once the chicken is tender, use two forks to shred it into bite sized pieces directly in the slow cooker.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Pour this into the slow cooker and stir well.

  5. 5

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for another 15 to 20 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.

  6. 6

    While the sauce is thickening, boil your noodles according to the package instructions and drain them well.

  7. 7

    Add the cooked noodles to the slow cooker and toss them thoroughly so they are coated in the sauce. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
