Crockpot Chicken Stir-Fry

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.333 cup soy sauce
• 3 tbsp sriracha (Use 2 tablespoons if a milder sauce is preferred; reserve additional sriracha for drizzling if desired.)
• 2 tbsp garlic (Minced)
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 0.75 cup chicken bone broth
• 3 tbsp cornstarch (For thickening the sauce)
• chicken thighs (Chicken of choice; the author used thighs. Amount not specified.)
• red bell pepper (Diced; amount not specified)
• 0.5 onion (Diced; amount refers to half an onion)
• broccoli (Add during the final 30 minutes; amount not specified)
• snap peas (Add during the final 30 minutes; amount not specified)
• noodles or rice (Use your preferred amount and variety. Noodles are cooked separately on the stovetop.)
• sesame seeds (For topping; amount not specified)
• sriracha (Optional drizzle for serving; amount not specified)

Steps

1. 1

   Add the honey, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, hoisin sauce, chicken bone broth, and cornstarch to the crockpot. Whisk thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and no cornstarch clumps remain.

2. 2

   Add the chicken, diced red bell pepper, and diced half onion to the crockpot, stirring as needed to coat them with the sauce.

3. 3

   Cover and cook on high for 3–4 hours or on low for 5–6 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

4. 4

   Thirty minutes before serving, add the broccoli and snap peas. Continue cooking so the vegetables soften while retaining some texture rather than becoming mushy.

5. 5

   While the vegetables finish cooking, prepare the noodles separately on the stovetop according to their package directions. Rice may be prepared instead if preferred.

6. 6

   Add the cooked noodles to the crockpot and stir them into the chicken, vegetables, and sauce.

7. 7

   Serve topped with sesame seeds. Add an optional sriracha drizzle for extra heat.

Notes

The source does not specify the amount of chicken, bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, noodles or rice, sesame seeds, or optional finishing sriracha. Carrots were suggested as an alternative vegetable. The exact slow-cooker temperature and chicken cut size were not specified; cook until the chicken is fully cooked through.
