Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing 2 large boneless chicken thighs in your slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly spaced for proper cooking.
  2. Pour in 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth and 1/4 cup soy sauce over the chicken, ensuring they are well-coated. Then, add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of minced ginger to this mixture.
  3. Next, add 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup of matchstick carrots, and 2 cups of snow peas or broccoli florets directly into the slow cooker. Gently mix the vegetables with the chicken and sauce.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to low heat for 6-8 hours.
  5. About 30 minutes before you're ready to serve, cook 8 oz of lo mein noodles or spaghetti according to package instructions until they are al dente.
  6. Once the cooking time is complete, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken and vegetables into a large bowl. Pour the remaining broth over the cooked noodles, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and mix everything well.
