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
Directions
Step 1
Spray the inside of your Crock Pot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with oil.
Step 2
Place the sliced chicken breast in the bottom of the Crock Pot.
Step 3
Add the carrots, celery, bell pepper, cabbage, and garlic on top of the chicken.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Add the pre-cooked noodles to the Crock Pot and gently toss to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
