Description
A sweet and savory slow cooker dinner featuring tender shredded chicken and egg noodles coated in a rich honey garlic sauce. This easy, one-pot meal is perfect for busy weeknights and meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 to 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 4–6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 8 oz egg noodles (or ramen/spaghetti)
- Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Trim excess fat from chicken breasts and place them in the bottom of a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and chicken broth until combined.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until chicken reaches 165°F and shreds easily.
- Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
- While chicken cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente.
- Drain noodles and rinse briefly with cold water to stop cooking.
- Stir shredded chicken back into the slow cooker with the sauce and let sit for 5-10 minutes to meld flavors.
- In a large serving bowl, toss cooked noodles with the honey garlic chicken and sauce.
- Top with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp cold water and stir into the slow cooker during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Cook noodles separately to prevent mushiness. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 4 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
