Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Oyster sauce
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 2 cups Sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1 cup Sliced carrots
- 1 cup Sliced celery
- 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
- 4 servings Cooked chow mein noodles or rice (optional, for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the chicken by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken broth, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar to form the chow mein sauce.
Place the chicken pieces into the bottom of the slow cooker and pour the sauce mixture over the top, making sure the chicken is evenly coated.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Around 30 minutes before the cooking time is up, prepare the vegetables. Slice the bell peppers, carrots, celery, and green onions.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a smooth slurry. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
Add the sliced vegetables to the slow cooker, gently stirring them into the chicken and sauce. Cover again and let cook for another 20-30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding salt or more soy sauce based on your preference.
Serve the chicken and vegetables over cooked chow mein noodles or rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional green onions, if desired.
