How to Make Slow Cooked Chicken Chow Mein
- Remove fat from 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook chicken in oil for about 5 minutes, turning once, until browned. Set aside.
- Place 1 cup sliced carrots, 1 cup sliced celery, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 cup water chestnuts in a 3 1/2 to 6-quart slow cooker.
- Add the browned chicken to the slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon grated ginger.
- Pour the broth mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low heat setting for 6 to 8 hours, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center and vegetables are tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until smooth.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry into the chicken mixture in the slow cooker.
- Stir in 1 cup sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup frozen pea pods.
- Cover and cook on high heat setting for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve hot over cooked noodles of your choice (about 8 oz).
