Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot Chicken Lo Mein
  1. Begin by placing the boneless skinless chicken thighs at the bottom of your slow cooker. Spread evenly for better cooking.
  2. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and soy sauce over the chicken. Add minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. Stir gently.
  3. Chop the red bell pepper, matchstick carrots, and broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Add these vibrant vegetables to the slow cooker and mix.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Allow to cook for 6 to 8 hours until the chicken is tender.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, prepare the lo mein noodles according to package instructions.
  6. Once cooking time is complete, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken and vegetables into a large serving bowl.
  7. Pour the reserved broth from the slow cooker over the cooked lo mein noodles in a separate bowl. Drizzle with sesame oil and toss to combine.
  8. Serve the noodles topped with the chicken and mixed vegetables, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
