Description
A delicious slow cooker recipe for Honey Garlic Noodles featuring tender chicken thighs, egg noodles, and broccoli in a sweet and savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
- About 30 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. In the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets to the slow cooker.
- Once the chicken is done, shred it in the slow cooker using two forks and stir to combine with the sauce.
- Drain the egg noodles and add them to the slow cooker, mixing everything together until the noodles are coated in the sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
- Substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts for a leaner option, adjusting the cooking time as needed to prevent drying out.
