Slow Cooker Asian Zing Chicken Noodles deliver a perfect mix of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors. Tender chicken, rich sauce, and soft noodles come together in one comforting bowl that’s easy to prepare and full of Asian-inspired zest.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp sriracha or Asian chili sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz rice noodles or spaghetti noodles
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
- Add to Slow Cooker: Place the chicken in the slow cooker and pour the sauce mixture and chicken broth over it.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken is tender.
- Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, then return it to the slow cooker.
- Add Noodles: Add noodles directly to the slow cooker, stir, and cook for 10–15 minutes until noodles are tender and coated in sauce.
- Serve: Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Use boneless chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
- For less spice, reduce the sriracha or use sweet chili sauce instead.
- Stir the noodles frequently to prevent sticking.
- Add vegetables like broccoli or carrots for more nutrition.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to balance the saltiness.
