Ingredients

  • 1 & 1/2 lbs chicken thighs diced
  • 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
  • 12 oz chow mein noodles cooked and drained
  • 1 cup carrot sticks
  • 2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions

Instructions

  • Prepare chow mein noodles according to package directions and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, warm the avocado oil and add the diced chicken thighs. Cook for 2 minutes per side to sear the chicken then remove from heat. (Note: the chicken will not be fully cooked through and will finish cooking in the slow cooker).
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic cloves, oyster sauce, soy sauce, chicken broth, honey, ground ginger and black pepper until well combined.
  • Add the seared chicken pieces, carrots, cabbage and whisked sauce to the bottom of a 6 quart or larger slow cooker.
  • Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4-6 hours, until the vegetables are soft and the chicken is fully cooked, with an internal temperature of 165F.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Pour into the slow cooker and cook for another 15-20 minutes on high or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Add the cooked chow mein noodles into the crockpot and toss to mix.
  • Garnish with the sliced green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy!
