Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 medium Carrots, julienned
- 3 stalks Celery stalks, thinly sliced
- 1 large Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Cabbage, shredded
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Oyster sauce
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 12 oz Lo mein or yakisoba noodles (pre-cooked)
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
Instructions
Spray the inside of your Crock Pot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with oil.
Place the sliced chicken breast in the bottom of the Crock Pot.
Add the carrots, celery, bell pepper, cabbage, and garlic on top of the chicken.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and chicken broth. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the Crock Pot.
Cover the Crock Pot with a lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2-2.5 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Once the cooking time is done, stir the slurry into the Crock Pot to thicken the sauce.
Add the pre-cooked noodles to the Crock Pot and gently toss to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Switch the Crock Pot to the WARM setting and let everything sit for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the noodles to absorb the sauce.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
