Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Noodles
- 8 ounces egg noodles or lo mein noodles
Vegetables
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, snap peas, and chopped broccoli)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional for flavor)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey (optional for slight sweetness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic. Chop the vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Add the chicken, noodles, mixed vegetables, minced garlic, soy sauce, chicken broth, and optional sesame oil and brown sugar into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cook on Low Heat: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the noodles are tender and the chicken is fully cooked through. Avoid opening the lid too often to maintain consistent heat.
- Final Stir and Serve: Once cooked, give the lo mein a thorough stir to distribute the sauce and ingredients evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken with beef, shrimp, or tofu as per your preference.
- Use low sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content.
- For a vegetarian version, skip the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Add vegetables that cook quickly towards the end of cooking time to avoid overcooking.
- Be sure to check the brand and type of noodles for cooking times as some may cook faster or slower in the slow cooker.
